Pastelpainting - Tumblr Posts
"Dunollie Point", Oban, Scotland.
Finished painting. Pastel on paper, approx 110mm x 60mm.
2. Preparatory sketch. 6B pencil on paper.
With a * to remind me to reverse out what I had drawn when it came to the final piece.
The colour note ‘orange’ didn’t work when I tried adding a warmer shade so I decided to keep the palette cool and blue.
3. The reference photo.
Taken from the north pier in Oban, Scotland.
The trees are what caught my eye here and I’m always drawn to silhouettes.
feeling like electricity like climbing up another wall
1/21 although the world is closer than ever to a nuclear apocalypse (yeah thanks to Russia; I don't know, really, how the Ukrainians cope with this EVERY DAY since then, they are so brave), it's time to pull myself together. sooo, I'm about to start a challenge, I guess? 21 days of Italian landscapes, for instance. don't wanna be hard on myself, that's why there won't be any serious restrictions. it'd be nice if all these future drawings were done en plain-air, but it's not quite possible now, so the photo-based drawings are gonna be fine too. also, all media that could be used will definitely be. and here we are — today is a perfect day for the first drawing of the #21daysofItaly
2/21 Chi dorme non piglia pesci
second day of #21daysofitaly
(it would be much better, if I took this photo in daylight, but whatever);
3/21 some blinkigs that have been stolen from my eyes. they were last seen: on the streets of Rome, within crowns of trees in a non-Catholic cemetery and daydreaming on sunburned hills. It's day three of #21daysofItaly (and I'm surprised). Decided to do some experiments, it turned out quite fun, btw! ; #challenge #landscape #Italy #mountains #mountainscape#art #visualart #grafique #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart#pencil #crayon #pencildrawing #vibrant #traditionalart#pastelpencil #pastel #pastelpainting #watercolor#watercolorpainting #comic #sketch #sketchbook
4/21 accade facilmente che una nuvola nasconda il sole.
didn't feel like drawing today, so we have what we have. It's the forth day of #21daysofitaly
5/21 A chi non beve birra, Dio neghi anche l’acqua (google translate’s here, hehe: To those who do not drink beer, God deny even water)
I suddenly love this piece! The challenge started to be less difficult (at least for today), it's day five of #21daysofItaly. Although my drawings may irritate me, the Italian landscapes are still fascinating.
11/21 Il pesce puzza dalla testa.
Day 11 of #21daysofItaly ;
12/21 the mirror looks into the mirror
Day 12 of #21daysofItaly :
13/21 Quando il gatto non c’è, i topi ballano. (When the cat's away, the mice will dance.)
The 13th day of #21daysofItaly :
14/21 even the mountains were turned into water with black speech
(meanwhile it's day 14 of #21daysofItaly ) :
16/21 moon nest that I found
day 16 of #21daysofItaly :
20/21 Dove son carogne son corvi.
day 20 of #21daysofItaly ;
21/21 Chi ha paura di ogni foglia non va nel bosco.
Last day of #21daysofItaly (can't believe that)
It seems that I won't post anything for a few days (hope not weeks...)
The most beautiful and unexpected thing of this challenge was that when I wasn't in the mood for drawing, but had to draw, I've sometimes received such great pieces (& fun & experience). The most difficult and the worst part was this schedule thing. sooo it was worth it!
The cat (il gatto) from the drawing is at a crossroads — looking forward. :
