Julia's ultimate bedtime story these days has been that of her favorite zhu zhu pets who are either attacked by a monster or Doc Oc and are saved by Spiderman. So needless to say, her drawing requests have also been of her zhu zhu pets trapped by a monster's net or are being chased by a monster. I'm pretty glad oil pastels could easily produce the bright colors that suited her imagination. In this particular exercise, I learned that I liked having a limited color palette better than having a wide variety of colors. Simplicity and bare spaces attract me.
