Horizon

Horizon, Emerging Pastel Artist
Horizon
Extra Soft Pastels by Art Spectrum, on a warm toned PastelMat. I was inspired to capture the distance, the luminous layers of clouds, the atmosphere of land meeting sky. I blocked in the land masses with a glaze of black followed by a glaze of white for the lightest areas overlapping in some places to create grey. After the first couple layers I focus only on building up layers of texture and tone in the horizon and clouds. I refined some details in the mountains at the end.
