Pastel on watercolor, watercolor underpainting below
The air was cold and the water was slightly warmish....thus the beautiful fog. The tangerine sky set nicely off of the blueish fog. I must admit I just enjoyed myself with this one. Just painting for the pure joy of painting.
Hi PB.. Glad I could share the joy with you! buddette
Hi Sam and the dogs, Thanks.. sometimes the watercolor/pastel works as a nice push/ pull...and it works best when I cover less of the watercolor. Happy painting!
Yummy colors. almost sherbet. The pastel is just enough to add some interest. I am going to be bold and say that I would like the background mass to be not as domey (is that a word?). But heck, it's beautiful.
Hi Marianne! I see your point about the domed mass in the distance. Thanks for pointing it out. It sure is funny how when I paint I focus on many things but the thing that is obvious...the elephant in the room... can slip unnoticed. Does that ever happen to you?
Oh my goodness, Loriann, all the time. I am always amazed when I let a painting "cook" in the studio overnight and revisit it the next day with fresh eyes. It scares me sometimes what I see!

Your joy is evident! I enjoy just looking
at it. Love the play between the tangerine
and the powdery blue. Wow!
Your painting Buddy.
a wonderful pastel edit of a gorgeous watercolor! either one works for me, though I must say the punch of pastel really makes it sing.
wow,
just love it. It actually leaves me quite speechless.
