Today has been a day of loose ends. I have been completing several projects and trying to figure out how to put a calendar onto my blog, www.dianeclancy.com/blog, without dominating the blog. But I did get outside and take my walk.
Inside and Out, Pastel © Diane Clancy
I was just going to share the above, but then I realized this is too good an opportunity to miss for talking about the creation of this image. I can tell a whole lot of people at once - if I am lucky!
I painted this while I was in school. Our teacher, Michael Coblyn
Then he flashed a second slide on the model for 2 - 3 minutes. We went back and forth between the 2 slides many times. We had to pick and choose between the different views we saw with the 2 slides to create one coherent image.
Since then I have been meaning to try the technique using a 3D computer model and figuring out how to shine slides onto the 3D model. But it hasn’t reached the top of the list yet … will it ever?
But, in the meantime, I am delighted to have this image. Thank you for looking at it with me and learimg about my creative process.

I love it! Very strong composition and colors. You ought to do some more!
Thank you, Neda, I do too. Given that is in the real, physical world with traditional mediums, it means shifting gears in a way that is more challenging than doing they digital.
But I want to get back to these! Thanks,

I almost forgot to tell you how good I think this is. So strong and colorful. I like it very much and would like to see more of your 'traditional' work.
Thanks for visiting my blog! I love this piece...I love the colors and how it was done.
Diane, What an interesting way to teach how to "see". I love this story and your artwork. I admit I have a soft spot for pastels!
Thank you, Irene! I guess this is becoming a ground swell of request. OK, back to the physical world.
Joy, Thank you for coming by here too ... so glad you like the colors ... I am going to put this piece into my CafePress shop (www.CafePress.com/dianeclancy) as mugs and totes ...
Bobbie - yes, this teacher was (is I am sure) fantastic! I have been sort of trying to figure out how to work this out in a digital way ... and then use pastels.
