I went to the art store and walked the isles. I had a great time. I intended to pick up glue and gold paint. I walked out with new paint colors! There’s raw sienna and soft acrylic. I had my hands on a yellow Sennelier oil pastel. It was beautiful and I left it behind. I could see myself creating beautiful sunflowers, but can I scan oil pastels without making a mess? There’s so many colors and brands to choose from. I simply went for the few colors that I needed in my collection.
If you ever get creative block, go to an art store. Be careful. I wanted to buy it all. The newsprint paper would have been good for collage. Wait a minute, that paper would be perfect for a floral project I’ve been thinking about. Ok so obviously I’ll be going back. So yes, when you get creative block go to an art store. Roam the isles and try something new.
These flowers are just swatch practice, but they would make a cute art print. I used a pen to draw my roses. Then I used my oil pastels and watercolor markers to add color.
It has been a wonderful day!
