Evening Walks

Evening Walks, Emerging Pastel Artist
Evening Walks
For this painting I used Sennelier Soft pastels and a light by Schmincke. I began by lightly sketching in some shapes with a light teal on dark grey PastelMat. I added in the other colors, developing textures on the land and smooth billowing shapes in the clouds. I added the grasses overtop the ground layer, putting in a few highlights where moonlight might hit them. My inspiration was my love of windy evening walks by the Sea. I tend to work more intuitively so this painting is a combination of memory, imagination, and practice rendering realistically.
