Peach and Plate WIP


This is not finished yes, it still has some things to correct but I'll post it as a WIP. This is such a wonderful medium to learn color theory with and although I still need more reviewing, I have learned things doing these color studies that I had never thought about before in all of the time I have been using color. Michael Newberry has an incredible sixth sense when it comes to applying the right colored pastel to another, he knows exactly how the color next ot it, will react.

Mary, your pastels look lovely and this one is no exception. I can't wait to see all you've learned about color theory applied to your oil painting.

Stacy thank you, I will try to establish the real color of the two different shawls in my painting this week with more pastels.

Thank you, Billie! One is like a cobalt blue and the other is purple, that is the one that keeps going magenta on me.:)
