Painting Still Life Landscape


Just getting started defining the veggies that will be more defined while the fields
are nearly done. Will have to check my values though so the distance is defined 
as far away. The closer fields are still being picked and they show the bounty 
yet to come. Stay tuned …still working on my beach scene too.
This was first a combo of photos then a few thumb nail sketches. Then a quick block
In of shapes some hard pastels and then an alcohol wash. Then reenforce my darks 
Still using hard pastels and starting some detail. I’m using 350 Uart so I had to use 
hard pastels to fill some tooth or my soft pastels would be eaten up! Chomp

What’s on the easel




Getting a painting ready from a photo of the beach . This is a pastel painting 
On 350 Uart over watercolor wash. I really want to transport 
 into this photo but it may satisfy my crave to feel the beach, sun and 
sand as I paint! I’ll listen to an ocean sound as I paint. 
Stay tuned.
