About the Artist
- Carolyn Jean Thompson
- Reno, NV, United States
- Welcome to my art blog! This is where I share my explorations and learning experiences in pastel, watercolor and oil painting. I have had this blog for about six or more years. I am currently entering many national and regional juried art shows. I have a website and sell my work from there as well. I started a group called Reno Tahoe Plein Air Painters a year ago and it has grown to about 40 active painters! Each year brings new challenges and exciting opportunities. I have made many friends among other art bloggers and enjoy visiting their blogs. I hope you enjoy your visit here, and click on the links to my website and the plein air painters to see more!

Good work ! And theank you for the explanation.
This is quite different from your last creations.
Yes, Caorlyn! This is what I do, whenever I do indoor work! Using a pencil, I do the value study, somethimes quite detailed, and it really helps and is fun. When outdoors, the notan is what is the same as a value drqeing, but not as detailed--you get your light/dark pattern, and large shapes. and can study if your comp. is working. Then stay in your value familes as you do it in color! Your pastel here is really nice as is your value study in black and white! Thalia sent me a note saying there was as opening, but I can't go and I am sad---Richard Mckinnley and Chavez, and Lordier are my fav's!! Great work here on your blog today!
Great, Carolyn! This is a cool landscape! So good, I really love the black and white version and also pastels! :-)
I can see how growing the young grass on the lawn! Incredibly beautiful! So fresh! Very fresh air from the mountains!!! :))))))
