Moving On.....

Piece inspired by Janet Skates

​​I finished all the classes at Sketchbook Revival 2021 and bound my sketchbook with everything I created.  Some pages are wonderful, some are silly, and some were awful.  But it didn’t matter.  This course stretched my imagination, honed my skills, and gave me inspiration and mission for a couple of weeks.  Definitely worth my time.  the classes are still available until the middle of April so take advantage of this free course!
 
So now, I’m going in a new direction.
 
I found this artist, Janet Skates, whose work I love for her use of color and mark-making.   Here’s the video that inspired my work today.

Sometimes, I try to copy another artist’s work in my sketchbook, just to learn their techniques, but it never turns out that great so I try to look and learn and then go my own way.  Janet uses a lot of white in her work and that results in pastels.  A color palette I never work with.  But I actually loved the results I got today so thought I would share it with you.
 
My Mom’s favorite color was pink.  Perhaps that’s why I never used that in my work.  But now, seeing pink actually brings fond memories of her so maybe it now, can have a place in my palette. 
 
How does color affect you?
