goblins market-I didn't get it they way I had pictured it-its kind of a scary poem, dark and creepy , so I think I will try in black and white next time.  If I could throw a sepia over this painting I would ....I need it to be more eerie...

well, I am two weeks into my childrens book illustration class and loving it.  I have been using pastels a lot and really coming to appreciate the look of them.  The flying elephant is an example, I don't have a pic of my first project but will take one soon.  This week class was cancelled because of illness so it was a bummer.  However I find myself doing every prompt and every aspect of every assignment so I have 5 paintings to show instead of one.  I have to pick my fav for the critique otherwise I will take up too much time, but I find doing all of the prompts really fun and helpful!
