Pastel Landscape

Alice Cook, 2014
A couple of days ago I did a pastel video by M. Katherine Hurley.  Since I don't have much experience with pastel, I thought this video would help me along.  It is of a simple landscape, a field of grass with trees in the distance and a path that runs through the field.  Hurley had us first lay down an undertone of orange and magenta, then applying workable fixative.  Multiple layers of pastel was applied with the forms taking shape.  I enjoyed the video and was happy with my results (see picture), though less camera time on Hurley and more camera time on the pastel painting would have been nice.  Enjoy!
