Autumn in Pastel
It is Autumn down here in the Southern Hemisphere. Yesterday I woke to my crepe myrtle in golden and red colours. This is the view from my studio window:
And so I drew a slice of the view in Carbethello pastel pencils with touches of Rembrant pastel on Art Spectrum Smooth Colour fix burgundy colour paper. You can see the step-by-steps of this on my blog at: http://lindaweilfineart.blogspot.com/

Thanks for share Linda.
Lovely colours on that tree indeed, I'm not surprise at all, that the beautiful view did trigger you to draw it nicely

Re: Autumn in Pastel
I wouldn’t have thought of burgundy as a base for this but now I can see why you chose it. The brighter colours like the yellow really pop!
I also went to your blog and the leaf drawings in the May 10th blog are so lovely. I’ve only done a few botanical studies but I’m a great fan and these are beautiful. I always love to see the ones that combine graphite with colour.

Re: Autumn in Pastel
Choosing a dark background means all your base shadow work is essentially done for you already! You just build on top of that.
And yes, my students/friends have done some really great work for me to put up on my blog. Check out this week's theme of 'Childhood'. I put a little detail of a WIP I am doing there as well. Feel free to make a comment there!
