Gloomy Morning Pastel

"It was a dark and stormy night ......." well, actually it is a cool and gloomy morning.  Tree was on our Hunt list.  I looked out my studio window at the trees.  They are pretty dark at the moment.  Pastels would portray the feeling.

For Scavenger Hunt from Life 61

Number 7, tree - pastels on the wiped off paper, about 9 x 12 inches

Nicely done! I hope the gloomy darkness has passed. I chuckled at your description as pastels on wiped off paper. lol

Jo Castillo said...

Joan, you are fun. Made me smile. The pastels are a bit gloomy when wiped. Ha.

Jo Castillo said...

Joanna, thank you. The sketch is gloomier in real life. The camera and monitor make it lighter. It would need a light on it if it was hanging in regular room light.

ashok, Thank you. I'm trying to paint more and comments encourage!

I did a pastel of a tree the other day. Today I was finishing it up and thinking that I should take a photo and send it to you for critique. But I haven't done it yet. sigh. I like your tree. My tree was fall-ish. You know how I hate painting with all greens.

bag blog, thanks. I do better with greens than fall colors. I'm not into the poor browns. Ha. Looking forward to seeing your tree.
