Painting landscapes is one of great pleasures. I forgot it, as concentrated mostly on still lives to improve my technique. It is like watching the small details, focused and concentrated. And then, suddenly, get the wings and see the wide world.
This is my contribution to Studio Atelier challenge (here).
Pastel sticks are so dusty. And I have to remember not to use fingers, though they are the best pastel grinding tool)).
Hello Irina. What beautiful greens--the touches of red add such depth, and the purple mountains make a lovely contrast. And thank you for your kind comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteHi Irina! Your pastel is beautiful! I wonder what can we use to paint with pastels, other than our fingers! I learned to use a mask or to worl open air, because pastels are pure pigments, they ate toxic. Just a hint . Hugs from Anamaria
ReplyDeleteHello Irina,
ReplyDeleteI liked the design in pastel colors in it I saw that I use and like very much!
You're coloring with joy and warmth!
A big hug

Esta técnica del pastel se te da de maravilla Irina. Enhorabuena y un saludo.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors and I like seeing the marks made by pastel - not all softened out :)
ReplyDeleteHi Irina, I really like your Rocky Mountain pastel. I've always found pastels difficult, precisely because of the dust. You did a wonderful job here.
ReplyDeleteWow, excellent job Irina! I like all of the warm colors in this piece.

ReplyDeleteAnamaria, thank you so much for your advice and kindest comment. I use foam rubber pieces, but fingers are the best)).
