material: pastel chalk on paper, A3
time: about 2 hours
digital editing: some
Today I learned...
- how not to use pastel chalks
- that I don´t like pastel chalks
I was really unhappy about the outcome, because of several reaons:
- pastel chalk is very imprecise and does a lot of mess
- my pastel chalks didn´t mix very well, so no matter how hard I tried, I didn´t get the colours I wanted
- I am very unexperienced at landscapes, so I had a lot of trouble with "anatomy" and dark areas
In the end, the picture turned out ok after the digital editing. And also, the point of practicing is not to set any high expectations.
I have also uploaded the original piece without any editing and one version with edited colors, which I found kind of cool and distracts from the bad original :-D
