Pastel Workshop Boats and Seascapes

The above is pastelled using a reference photo I took at Strahan in Tasmainia earlier this year.

I have just spent two days doing a pastel workshop with an artist I greatly admire Regina Hona. The theme was seascapes and boats and we did one picture each day. Being a 'boatie' I was really drawn to this workshop. Neither of the pastel pictures shown here is complete but I thought I would post them both anyway.

Sunset Peel Isle Update

Today I have done the water reflections and worked on the clouds. Next step is to add some sillouetted moored boats.

Sunset Peel Isle

I have done the under colour on the water today and played around with the clouds a bit. When it is finished the water will be mostly a yellow orange relection of the sky with dark sillouetts of boats anchored for the night. This is a place where we often anchor our boat for the night sometimes rafting up for a party with friends.
