Sometimes they just paint themselves

I did this yesterday in my Thursday group session. I used Nupastels on Colourfix paper. It is 11x14 inches. I chose this particular setup because I thought the brass plate behind a brass bowl would make an interesting challenge. As soon as I got the basic shapes blocked in and started applying local colors the piece just took over. On rare occassions you get one that just seems to paint itself. This is what it looked like after two and a half hours
