Tuesday's Pastel Class at Blackburn Point Road, Osprey, Fl


Our group critique at the end of the painting session. See next blog








This view was done by Heidi. She has been in group for the whole session and does a lot of plein air painting. She definitely has captured the mood of the day, particularly with the sky and the distant shore.
Great little picture.





Last but not least is mine. Some of the other ladies had been to this site with another class and had painted the strange shape boat. This was my first time here and I loved the light on the sides of the boat, so I decided to be different and paint the boat. I am very satisfied with the results. Framing the boat with the trees takes away from the strange shape and focuses on the color of the ship. I loved the reflection of all the different colors in the sunlight, and the warm against the cool shadows. Just an
interesting exercise. The more we practice and solve problems the better we should get. At least that is the presumption I am working on, but might run out of time before I get to where I would like to be.
