Today I'm depicting an early spring landscape with a melting snow and the setting sun hiding behind the branches of pine trees.
So, begin to study.
- Take sandpaper with grit 1000 (water-resistant).
- Mark a sketch with a pastel pencil of a neutral colour. Don't use graphite or coloured pencils for that! Pastel will be hardly applied.
- Work with a black pastel chalk to apply the basic tone.
- Then use cool colours for the trees in the background.
- The farther from the sun, the colder the colours.
- You can use coal and pastel pencils for the final touches.
- I don't fix pastel pictures.
Properly frame the work with a passepartout or cover it with tracing paper to store it.
You can see all details of this study in the video tutorial below.
Pleasant viewing!
