Pastel on Wallis, 6x9
This work is a color and value sketch with the anticipation it will become a larger, more formal piece.
I began with a pancil sketch to which I added value markers and notation lines to indicate the movement I wanted to achieve.
After that, I did a watercolor underpaining to indicate basic color and value relationships. Loved the bloom that happened in the sky.
From that I added the basic pastel color scheme for the sky, the ocean, and the sand.
The next step was to emphasize the deeper values, and added the structure of the bushes and grass.
I'm pleased enough with the result to use this for a larger work.
