Pastel on clairefontaine Pastelmat, 13 x 19 inches
This was another demonstration piece I gave to another Art Group recently, put away whilst i was painting oils, so I've finished off back in the studio.
My favourite stretch of the river welland near me again, in all it's Autumn glory, with its mellow tones of blues, mauves and rich yellows and rusts. Soft Pastel is particularly gorgeous to use for painting reflections, and this was perfect for the job; slow-moving water, with just a hint of ripples and dots of bubbles to animate the surface.
That's the last of Pastels for the time being - now back to Oils, so stand by your beds all........

Nice one Peter, you've really nailed the light beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul - much appreciated! It was one of those gorgeous, quiet November days after a touch of frost. I like your plein air work too - very sound!
