2011-12-08T10:27:00.001-05:00

I just finished this pastel this week. I used a photo I had taken while we walking along a path named the Warden's Way. The section we traveled ran from Upper Slaughter, through Lower Slaughter, and then to Burton on the Water. The picture was done on Wallis sanded paper using mostly Pan Pastels with some Nu-Pastels, and touches of Unison and Rembrandt. The size is 9 by 18 inches.

At the end of the first session.

Lisboa

I finished this pastel yesterday. It was painted from a photo I took while crossing the Tagus River on the ferry. I had taken the train from Albufeira to Lisbon. The ticket included the ferry because there was no railroad bridge across the river.

The pastel is 12" X 18" on Wallis sanded paper. I used Pan Pastels, Nu-Pastels, Rembrandt, and Unison pastels plus Derwent pastel pencils.
