Across the Fields

Two new pastel sketches -
This first, a celebration of fading autumn colour.

This second sketch from earlier in the month- 
Another view across the fields.
Here I'm tuning into the more subtle variations of marsh grasses.

Jobes Woods Pastel

One of the spring sketches translated into pastel.

I think this is more successful than my last pastel, 
looser and better use of colour.
I used a smooth, toned, sketch paper.

Previous examples have been 
on various textured pastel papers 
which I find difficult.
I'm always fighting the textured surface....
which can be a distraction.

Experience must count for something 
so I shall persevere!!
