Before and After



Watercolor



Pastel





So in class this week Terry had me work on a fun exercise.  I brought in an old watercolor of mine and painted it in pastel, using the original painting as my reference.  I thought I would see more of a difference than I actually did, but I think that is because I did not have the actual photo reference.  That being said, I still really like the pastel painting a lot because the colors are so rich.  This scene is from a (rare) sunny day when we were living in England and took a day trip to the country.
