but honestly, I just appreciate SO MUCH the ability to just take two hours and just... do. Something. Besides homework.
Today I decided that my "do" of the day (or, more likely, of the week) would be to get out the new chalk pastels.
And then I broke every rule of chalk pastels I could think of (light colors first, don't use black, yada yada), just to see what would happen.
Funnily enough, I actually like it a lot better than the other pastel I've done... the one where I followed all of the rules.
Now, I can do a still life with perfectly-blended shades and the right order of application and everything, just as well as the next person.
But, there's something about just throwing the colors at a blank slate in semi-resemblance to not-very-much-of-anything that creates the most brilliantly exquisite mess you've ever seen, and it just makes me HAPPY.
maybe I'll take a picture when I'm done, but for now it's back to homework.
