"Temptations and Innocence" in Soft Pastel and Oil Pastel.

I finished my PastelMat roses and gave it a name what fits it to perfection in my understanding...
I call it "Temptations and Innocence"- combination of light and dark roses.
Now I'm back to "Innocence" part  and starting another painting from the same reference and this time in Oil pastel. Oil pastel version will be bigger and will NOT have red roses as part of composition. It also will be slightly bigger - 16 x 16". I'm using Ampersand Encausticbord for this work and will attempt to do
no-glasing conservation option . Pretty existing new project!

"Morning Fog." Pastel

Morning Fog.

10x 8"   Pastel on RTX board

This was a pretty quick for me painting. more like pre-thinking for another painting I may do one day. 
This is a very top of our drive-way with the fog bank coming down from the mountains. When it comes, you never can see those mountains, you can not even see the forest, just some closest bushes and this very tree on the right. I love it. Perhaps one day I'll be happy with how I painted it.
 Today's painting is only a play. But I touched the mystery of this fog and sometime will be back to it.

Roses on PastelMat. 

11 x 11"   Pastel 

Today  I git lucky with time and went back to my painting. I did no blending this time, therefore it is looking sort of funny. But I don't care. I'm pretty happy with over-all appearance and will work on details later. Good to see some progress after few days of NOTHING! Yes, I'm busy with those online art classes Johannes is giving and love each and every of them.
But it is very time consuming, of course.

11 x 11"   Pastel 

This is not going to be easy and/or fast. No questions about it. It is not really big painting, so I have to be extra careful to do it right. But fortunately I feel - I do have right colors and this painting does go the way I want it to go. Dark roses are part of the darkness and light roses are part of the light. This is an idea. Tomorrow is another day and hopefully I'll ave more time to work on this my painting.

Roses on PastelMat, Pastel WIP.

Roses on PastelMat by Tatiana Myers

11 x 11"   Pastel 

This will be my new project, what perhaps will take some time to accomplish. Have to do it slow and very carefully, especially because of combination of  very dark background with very light colored flowers. My reference is a carefully created digital photo what looks nothing like its original  (and I'm thankful for it too! Original was nothing to die for.) I'm stating from negative space on this one, because it is the only way to keep light roses clean of dark pastel dust. So far so good. Girault and Holbein Pastels, CarbOthello and Gioconda pastel pencils.

"Hibiscus" Oil Pastel by Tatiana Myers.

"Hibiscus" by Tatiana Myers

5 x 7"  Pencils and Oil Pastel on Encausticbord.

This work is an actual Oil pastel, but before I painted it with pastels I did heavy layer of underpainting with watercolor pencils and washed it with water. Therefore this is double-layer painting, even all you see is mostly an Oil Pastel.
This work is accomplished on brand new for our market support by Ampersand called Encausticbord and I'm putting that one on list of my very favorites. Lovely board to work on. Takes pencils, water-media (watercolor, gouache, tempera), somewhat suitable for soft pastels (but  Pastelboard is still better for those) Oil pastels and of course Encaustics. very interesting, very promising board. I already love it.
