100 Pastel Challenge – No.23

Just one more tonight and the suggestion of doing a black and white version came from my son (you know, the one who is usually the first to add a comment). I’m not sure whether being an architect or a rabid comic book designer and historian is the reason he chose b&w, but it was really fun to do.

I had done one earlier just using blues and will probably add other monochrome versions as time goes on.

I hope you are enjoying this challenge as much as I am!

100 Pastels – Nos. 19 & 20

Here are two more pastels for the 100 challenge. Remember they are the same scene, 5 X 7 and the work has to be completed in 30 minutes. It is starting to get harder and harder to just pick up colors that are so different than what I would do if I were painting a scene for real. But then that’s the whole point..forcing yourself to explore colors and hopefully see new possibilities. I must admit that is it very freeing in many respects.

You can view the previous 18 in earlier posts. And remember you can click on the image and see a larger version (Thanks, Thom)
