New art ideas

 

I just received some of the art supplies I ordered. I now have 24 Strathmore pastel papers in different colors. I have the support board to substitute the art easel and some art tape to fix the paper on the board. 

The pastel pencils, mechanical pencils, and some graphite on the image are old.

I'm still waiting for another kit of charcoal, graphite, a few more pastel pencils, and a larger separate kit with 48 pastel pencils I ordered from Amazon.

My art method and themes were resolved before any purchases. I had to comply with my own requisites: Not too expensive or complicated to produce. Not too large either. If possible make it responsible. So I decided to use me as a model, my arm and hand, and pick veggies and fruits we buy through the weeks and use them as models too. 

I'm creating a series of drawings/paintings about fruits and veggies. I produced many photographs and videos with food as the subject in the past; this isn't new.

So, every drawing I complete means the portrayed veggies were bought for our consumption and will be used for art too. That makes it responsible and conscious.

Follow my blog for the whole process.
