Across the River

Plein air pastel painting of a riverbank seen from the water.

Pastel painting 6.75 inches x 11 inches

Please contact me if you are interested in this or similar artwork.

Second attempt at the Bagetta Workshop. This pastel painting of a river was done on pale yellow Richeson pastel paper with a warm red, purple and yellow underpainting. If you look closely, you can see the paint sneaking thru the green and even dripping down the paper.

Speaking of paper. I think I have given this Richeson paper my last shot. I've tried if for figurative art, landscapes, and florals. It is just too pebbly for me and I can't seem to control it. I don't feel too bad "dissing" it here because Richeson no longer seems to be carrying it on their website. I think I'm sticking with Kitty Wallis and Art Spectrum Colourfix paper. I seem to get the best results with them...
