- Plein air pastel painting of a colorful building between palm trees
Pastel painting 12 inches x 9 inches
I was drawn to this scene because of the vibrant color of the building peeking out between the trees and bushes. It made a perfect, complimentary color scheme of reds and greens, causing a bit of interesting vibration in the pastel landscape. The vertical and horizontal lines of the composition also intrigued me because they formed a kind of grid-like structure to work with. Its a bonus to be able to paint buildings and landscapes at the same time!
I tend to bounce between several subject matters in both my watercolor and pastel paintings. But I like so many subjects its hard to focus! Landscapes, architecture, portraits, seascapes, extreme close ups... I love them all. The only subjects I haven't worked much with are abstracts and still lifes. But there's still time...
