Light Pastel Sketch

The light has been beautiful on the ponds on these crisp fall mornings.  We have one fisherman that comes out on most days.  Handy he was here for the Hunt sketch.

Morning Light
Pastel on Pastelbord, 7 x 5 inches, sketch

 For Scavenger Hunt 658  https://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/topic/scavenger-hunt-658-dec-1-dec-9/

Number 7, seen outdoors the pond and fisherman

Sketching with pastels is fast and simple.  You don't need much detail so no nitpicking or messing around.  I held the board in my hand and didn't bother with an easel.  You don't have to go over and over like you do with colored pencils.  You just put a color down and it is done.

Like I said on FB I love the way you handled the morning light in this. Does he ever catch anything?

This is so lovely Jo!

Debbie, thanks so much. Fun to see you!

Joan, thank you. The fisherman catches, but the ponds are catch and release. He fishes several times a week.
