ABSOLUTELY, WITHOUT A DOUBT, THIS IS IT,

the last pastel in this series. It began with a piece of 4-ply cold press illustration board taped to a watercolor board and covered with a thin gray acrylic wash. The sky was created wtih repeated layers of pastel dust, rubbed into the surface with fingers and hands. For a heavily textured foreground I applies acrylic molding paste, seen here...the white lower part of the board.




The next step was the buildings...they're ok but could be better.




The last stage is the trees and the foreground.


The Farm Pastel 15x25 $600

My current thinking is to repeat this landscape in acrylic as a triptych on 3 24x24 panels.
