Bring on the Aubergine !

Looking at marks and old sketches

Start to over paint in aubergine squares

 Once the canvas is covered in aubergine squares  out come the oil pastels

Getting pink pastel on

Joel chose a test pot from Barbara's  Mum's collection and put it on the stool and they took it in turns to scratch one in a random square

Barbara making a few adjustments to something she's working on, while Joel fills a square

Barbara's turn to scratch the pot image on the grid

preparing the larger grid canvas adding more layers

Da daaa !Got to say they look bit like selection of odd pants !

Recycling a canvas from last project

Really loving the aubergine colour

Barbara and Joel covered all the original gourd drawings till there was only a faint image coming through the purple ...almost Rothko...Made a really good start today, three canvases on the go !
