Pastels and perspex

When uninspired, grab some old toot and draw a still life. In true Cezanne style I deliberately twist perspective to see the most interesting bits and make a better composition - I don't stop to plan, I just start drawing and see what looks good. Chalk pastel pencils on smooth grey paper.
In another style I was experimenting with painting on the back of a sheet of perspex/acrylic (from an abandoned old clip frame I found) then scraping off and repainting the back to pick out colours - light shining through works well so I'll probably work on this technique a bit more.
