This was done for a task. Acrylic  12 x12 in. I loved doing this one inspired to do more in this style. I love the colours.

I love this image as it shows an interesting subject matter and the style is in black and sepia in a loose approach.  This was done in my journal book as a pre sketch in readiness for the classes to have a go.  I may take more time in class to get the proportions correct and the subtle tonal chages.  I used sepia and black watercolour, but could try this in all ink in the future.

art work pastel painting

This was a second attempt at pastel painting with this image. This was demonstrated in a class recently. Inspired by artist Steve Hall  who I really like. I used cheap soft pastels for the sky on pastelmat paper, bigger than an A4 size. I blended in the blues and added the cloud colours over the paper. I used carbothello pastel pencils for most of the mountains and midground areas. I then added some strokes of unison soft pastels for grass and tree sections. I loved this task. Will definitely push myself into pastel work in the future.

Let me encourge you to do the same. Take some of your photos and re-create the memory in art.
