Another look at Wildwood.

I'm about to start another 12 x 12" landscape of Wildwood Lake sanctuary.  
This is a reference I'm going to use. Already digitally modified to suit my needs. I'm going to start from some sketching and then work with watermedia underpainting. Then it will be time for pastels. Perhaps I can start on it this evening, if that very TV in the living room ever will go off. 
And guess what?... few hours later mission is accomplished!

"Majesty". Oil Pastel on Canvas Board. Finished!

"Majesty".

12 x 16"  Oil  Pastel on canvas board

I was very not happy with my Oil pastels and this board, because of length of drying time and not enough adhesion to support... But I finished it, let it plenty of time to dry and put 3 coats of Golden varnish on it. I think experiment with varnish was very successful. So after all it was not totally wasted time and art supply. I will do another one on canvas only this time will put another primer over regular gesso. Hopefully it will make my work more easy and enjoyable.

"Apple & Oranges". WIP. And another update.

"Apple & Oranges".

 11 x 8.5"  Pastel on La Carte.

I Think I'm so ready just to shake all the dust of, tape it to another board, put it on my easel and just carefully finish it it vertical position. Something tells me I can adjust my lights better this way and I'll have more room for those pastels without dropping downs another (or the same one) box.

"Apple & Oranges".

 11 x 8.5"  Pastel on La Carte.

Some more playing with the same Still Life. Mostly did some work on background, touch up on that apple and lots of Unisons on oranges... I LOVE that "Special Collection" from unison. Sweet poison of cadmiums and cobalts is looking so good!

Got to work some more on this Still Life. Trying some new strokes and ideas on it... Weird!... But there is a something about it... So far very limited amount of pastel sticks. few Holbeins, few Giraulds and 2-3 Unisons from so called "Special Collection" Few pencils too. fun! too bad I still only have one more piece of La Carte. Should get more sometime soon.

"Apple & Oranges". Pastel WIP

"Apple & Oranges".

 11 x 8.5"  Pastel on La Carte.

Finally have my monitor set-up waaay away from my computer (it works simply great!)
Starting my new project. Another Still Life and this time from my own reference (to be honest "reference is all long gone, but a plate...
It would be a total enjoyment, if forget about the fact that night before I managed to drop my favorite box of pastels and nearly killed it... Took about an hour to collect all the bits and pieces.
Hopefully I will continue with this painting tomorrow.
