Pepper grinder #2 on Stonehenge


I did this one from the bottom angle to make a very simple shape a bit more interesting.

Adding water to the orange and black pastels on the page really works to make an intense paint (Duh--pigment plus fluid). I'll try a binder other than water next time.

I like painting on Stonehenge paper. It's interesting they don't mention watermedia in their listed recommendations for techniques on this paper.
