Back to pastels with this 12x18 scene from a hike a few weeks ago. Right past the tree is a creek bed that is used to release water to areas down stream. It is dry a good part of the time and easy to cross over to the mountain side of the park. I like this trail a lot because it has dry brush and cactus.
I started this painting on a sanded surface called Uart. The surface can take washes of turpentine,alcohol and water. This allows for under paintings in wet pastel, oil, ink or watercolor. I really like the texture each of those mediums bring to my work.

Lovely range of colors in this Stephanie. Each color has many different shades, which adds great depth. I love the blue hills, and then the dark blues and purples in front of them. Very nice!
your paintings as beautiful
