This one is based on the #sketch I made of the tree on a cliff.

I felt like I wanted to try something different, to make it a harmonious, soft and light looking piece, with different colours than the natural ones I use most of the time.

Also I used #Canson mi-teintes paper instead of the course #U-art 500 that I use often, to amplify the soft and #atmospheric feel.

Last two weeks I've been working on this painting thatnis approx. 30 x 45 cm. It was sunny the morning that I took the picture, brightening up the leafs in amazing autumnal colors!

Things I've learned from painting this one: Blurring edges in the distance more effectively
To not have strong value contrasts in the peripheral areas of the painting.
Maybe I failed at the left tree regarding the second point. It doesn't bother me too much though.

No one ever had the right to judge, because it was my own destiny and my own battlefield...

Right out of my easel, soft pastel portrait of #sinead R.I.P.
This painting was commissioned by one local woman and it was a privilege for me to paint Sinead. I have admired her since I was a very young girl.

Beside my encaustic painting I regularly challenge myself in order to develop portrait skills and explore techniques from old masters to achieve real skin tones.

'Green Hazelnuts on a Contorted Branch' has just been completed in soft pastels. The model is a shrub from my own garden. I planted it several years ago and really love the twists and turns taken by the branches as they grow.

See this artwork in my online gallery at https://mm-anderson.pixels.com/featured/green-hazelnuts-on-a-contorted-branch-mm-anderson.html or one of the other links in my profile. #art #ArtistsOnMastodon #MastoArt #CreativeToots #BotanicalArtwork #PastelArtist #SoftPastel

Some student work shared with permission from Monday Makings .. an art lesson with a focus on understanding tonal values and effective use of negative space. Using 'simple' subject matter helps the student to understand the play of light and the importance of using the full range of tonal values. We also discussed ways to translate a photographic subject to painting. Inspiration photo credit https://photos.com/featured/red-tulip-flower-martin-child.html?product=art-print
