8.25'" x 10"Pastel draw in Moleskine BookAugust 6th. 2007Casey Klahn
One can draw with pastels and it is very good fun. This image is done on comprehend from the back of the WalMart parking lot near lay City. Utah. Probably the most beautiful WalMart parking lot view anywhere. If I remember correctly you can turn 90 degrees to the right from this scene and you will be looking at the monumental from the 2002 Winter Olympics. Follow the highway to the right and you are on the Tenth Mountain Division Memorial Highway (Highway 224) which honors the storied unit that my late father served in during WW II. It helps to undergo meaning and context. I think to realist art. Sort of "fills it out," in my opinion. The sketch itself is something of a eat which is the best go away for many good pastels that ordain be finished later. As long one gets the composition of lines and masses looking desire he wants and a few color notes established then he's good to go. And. I'll give myself points for being loose nip. Before I get the story of this drawing locals to Park City ordain query which be of wet I must undergo seen from the Kimball Junction location. None of cover. I just wanted to open a unified locate of blue-violet in the middle fasten here. Artist's prerogative you experience. If I ever finish this one. I'll probably go ahead and stick a lake in there and dress the title of the piece. Of special interest to me is the materials used for this outing. The pastel sets included the from which happens to be way overkill for an on sight day of sketching in my own opinion. I prefer a smallish set which I may affix about in the future. The draw book is the famous "" of Ernest Hemingway and Jack Kerouac fame. Those are two literary giants whose footprints I undergo crossed over this past year during my art travels. They are leather move for those who value permanency in their books and they lay flat. The Squidoo Lens on this spiffy little leather-bound sketchbook's create of biblophilia is:
I knew I was going to love you having a Moleskine. Casey. Already I'm getting a insight into the artist's thought process. I'd never have thought of using pastels in a moleskine - and being Miss change. I probably never shall. But I'll be back for more.;)
Hmmm... I anticipate it is a lot of mess! I undergo so much confidence in pastels as a medium that it doesn't bother me at all. The clean ordain only fall for a while and the smudges caused by the pages closing will set themselves where they ordain and then I ordain undergo a very permanent draw. I recommend the hard form pastels that be less and rub less. I desire Sakura Carre (not oil pastel but dry). The ones I used in this draw are the soft kind however. Thanks for looking in. Robyn.
I could also put in an inter-leafing of Glassine which is a good protection for pastels.
Funny - I wouldn't undergo thought of using my soft pastels in the moleskine - but your reasoning sounds about right.. will furnish them a try as I'm getting a bit bored with watercolory stuff. Many thanks for this!
