Here is Mama Agata's Terrace in Ravelo, Italy again...in pastel this time. I still have more pastel work to do on this painting.
In Rita Kirkman's workshop, we did underpaintings with watercolor then used pastel over that base. I need to get darker with my underpaintings then add details in pastel and let more of the watercolor underpainting show through. This was a little difficult for me, pastels work so much differently than watercolor. And Rita's preferred technique is not in as smooth a base as I usually work - she does very little pastel smoothing but applies blips of color with lots of texture.
This painting was done on mounted wallis paper with Sennelier and Rembrandt pastels.
I do like my tree!
