Plein air studies in pastel, 6x6 inches

Four small studies done at Santa Rita park.  Two days' worth.

I don't spend more than 20-25 min. on each of these.  The goal is to work quickly and not fuss over details.  I also try not to duplicate sky and cloud colors if I'm doing two back-to-back.

  3. These are wonderful, Sonya! Love the colors - and especially the sense of movement in your clouds.

  4. Darla and Debbie - thank you ladies so much for your kind comments! Clouds are sort of difficult to paint even from a photo, but as a constantly changing subject on location, it's even harder. Really good practice, though :).
