We have nice, summer weather now, but we have windy days. Just too windy for me to paint outside. I'm back to working in pastel exclusively now, so that I can be ready for a workshop in the mountains. The instructor (Richard McKinley) has a Pastel Pointers Blog each week. I printed many of them. I thought I would practise what he preaches! So today's work, I started with a grey scale painting first. Then I matched the colors to the values and went over the painting in the matching values in color, and voila! I retained the values while in color!
