Pastel drawing on red earth Canson Mi-Teintes pastel paper
10 ¼" x 15"; matted & framed: 15 ½" x 19 ¾"
Signed in pencil in lower right.
This piece was drawn en plein air on Martha’s Vineyard after taking the pastel drawing workshop at Featherstone Gallery (Oak Bluffs, MA). I love drawing landscapes and figures with pastels, which are a dry medium. While this can be a challenging medium to work with because of the flatness of the colors, the artist can get some beautiful effects.
