Thursday Afternoon on Carson Pass

This location was supposed to be our afternoon site, so we just stayed.  Richard did a demo of rocks for us.  It was very inspiring, like all his demos!  Photo is at the end of this page.

I decided to do another small, intimate scene with high contrast - which is easier for me at this point - rather than the big expansive scene.

Some little plants around the rocks are starting to turn red and orange.  Here is my underpainting.

While adding pastel, the sun went over the ridge and gusty wind came up.  Being the wimp that I am, I did not work long on this, and I think I'd like to do a "do-over" at home of this scene.

Here is Richard's demo - awesome as usual.
