Frustrated artist



Am frustrated with sketching and drawing and painting. I can't seem to find my style - or maybe it is evolving as I go along. I can't find the medium to work with. When I work with oils I wish I had used inks, when I work with inks I wish I had used pastels. I'm usually working on the wrong paper. These two sketches are when hubbie and I visited Brittany - that's him and me on the seat watching the wind surfers. My criticism - the colours are all wrong - painting with a British eye for colouration. England's light is grey whereas Brittany is a beautiful heathery pink - so I have to add more pinkish and mauvish hues
