Four square pastels

Four new pieces, from drawings and references I've worked on in the past: Marshes!

MARSH WATER
original pastel, 6x6"

 In person, the colors are better, so I must improve my photo taking/editing. Perhaps I can blame it on the non-stop rain we've had. Colors are better in sunshine!

MARSH STREAM

 All four pieces are painted on gray PastelMat, not my favorite surface to paint on, but I had seen Christine Bodnar's demonstration and figured I'd revisit it.

MARSH TREE

 With a water wash to create an underpainting, I enjoyed the process a lot.

MARSH SHADOWS
original pastel, 6x6"

Not bad, but I'd like them to be more lively and colorful. I can work on that! Like I said, I'm blaming the rain!

Thanks for reading!
