Colored Feather Study




The following day, things got a bit more exciting...we added color! Same concepts in chalk pastel. Detail level and interpretation of color really varied on these.  One thing that caught me off guard during this project was my most challenging student of the class (who frequently does not do her work) completed three feathers- above and beyond for her. You never know what will grab their attention! It made me smile :)

    I LOVE this idea, chalk pastels are the perfect medium and on the black paper it really stands out! If you have time, check out my blog: artmuse67@blogspot.com
