Happy New Year
My first pastel of the new year, based on a picture of a meadow on Whidbey Island. Done on Mi-Tienes Canson Tobacco colored paper. It's brilliant colored paper for green landscapes because you can just let it fill in the blanks - you don't have to feel compelled to cover every inch of the paper. Let the viewer fill in the blanks, as they say.
This is also my first pastel with my brand new Terry Ludwig Plein Air set (thanks Santa!). I can see why these pastels are so expensive (yet worth every penny). They are buttery soft and go on the paper effortlessly. They have minimal dust too. I'm a HUGE fan already. Can't wait to keep cranking out the new work this coming year.
