I actually have used erasers when I want it there but different. I never thought of actually scraping it with a painting knife. thanks!<br /><br />Yipes Sam! I guess that's a lesson of a sort... is that in letting go? or waitiing and not being impulsive?<br />perfection isn't what it's cracked up to be!loriann signorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16738796573576452724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569842595006112796.post-67104032786257988282010-01-26T09:58:21.791-05:002010-01-26T09:58:21.791-05:00Once, in a fit of pique (who, me?), I bashed at a ...Once, in a fit of pique (who, me?), I bashed at a "finished-to-perfection" pastel with a crappy old 1-inch brush and then threw it out. Boy, was that a dumb mistake or what? We'll never know.

The papers I use don't always hold up well to much scrubbing, and definitely not with liquid. I do sometimes scrape away pastel gentlY with a painting knife, though, to give myself a fresh start and this sometimes leads to better things.Brian McGurganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963409828276349170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569842595006112796.post-63504816388307516682010-01-26T08:17:58.550-05:002010-01-26T08:17:58.550-05:00Wow!

Do you feel too compelled to add detail when the view is close up? (I do.)

It's more fragile than Uart or Wallis which I can use and reuse. I like its softness.<br /><br />Hi Melinda!<br />No mistakes, just lots of lessons ready to be learned.I will have to go check you Grand Canyon.<br /><br />Hi Jala!<br />What do you think? Darker paintings tend to have a mood very different than lighter ones.

As I was wiping off the pastel I noticed a landscape and I had to turn the painting to see it..sideways. Far from what I had intended. Wish I had taken a picture...but you know how it is when you are so frustrated!

The sky was all accidental...the only credit I can take is knowing when to stop.<br />You are so right about not pressing for the finished painting.

There is something about it, which, unfortunaltely, find it very hard to describe in English.Very striking.<br /><br />The lesson I learned in the past few month: don't press for the finished painting. Give yourself the freedom to explore and let go.
