Pastel Pear and Bottle
I am back to pastels, but did I ever have problems with this puppy. It was difficult to see all the colors in the pear, bottle, shadow and reflection. I don't normally paint this late in the evening, but I want to try to paint every day and this was the only time I could paint. I guess that is part of the challenge and you have to try to find the time.

I love the glinting warm light on the bottle, that's elegant. Life painting, it's spectacular.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Robert. I had to stop myself from adding more pastel and ruining the look. Know when to stop, right? Often easier said than done.
