Suggestions for Stretching Your Skills:

• ·         Limit painting time- 30-60 minutes.
• ·         Limited palette. Experiment with temperature and hue.
• ·         Try different pastels. Work with hard instead of soft or soft pastels instead of hard. Try pastel pencils.
• ·         Change subject matter- If you paint plein air, try a still life, a portrait, or an abstract.
• ·         Experiment with underpaintings. Try a wet underpainting with water or denatured alcohol, watercolor or ink.
