Day 10 , one drawing and one painting per day




8'x10" pastel on moonstone Canson Mi-Teintes

It's cold , grey and blustery today. I'm not much for these kind of days and am always looking for ways to brighten it. I chose a reference photo from a January day when I was at the beach. Since I am pushing myself , I thought I would go "out of my box" with color. I also chose colors that I don't use a lot. I tend to be a green girl…… Anyway, here is my reference photo, thumbnail and drawing on the paper.
 I was afraid to start, but I just went with what I know, laying in the darks , mid tones and lights. 
 
I worked on the painting about 40 mins. It's not one of my better paintings, but I feel like I accomplished my task for the day. I may last it sit for awhile and have another look and see if I want to do anything else to it.
