I've been avoiding this color, because it looks grayish purple, and seemed kind of ugly. I purposely pulled it out today, because I am feeling yucky and blah - with a runny nose and a stuffy head. Than I looked at the color name "Purple Mountains' Majesty" and that struck me as a silly, almost ridiculous, name. BUT once I started drawing with it, I really like the color. It is much more purple than I thought.I wanted the mountains to be a part of the drawing, because of the name, so I started copying one of my old paintings that I have hanging in my dining room (where I am sitting to draw). I forgot how much I really like this painting. I did this painting right after my second daughter was born (WOW, it does not seem like 13 years ago that I made that painting). I like that I was able to get several textures from the crayon in this drawing - by using shading combined with patterns.
I actually feel a little better after completing this drawing. A little more energized and focused. Maybe I can actually get something done today.
