Entering a Welsh Town

The Upper Estuary Near Porthmadog, Wales

My new pastel on 12 by 18 inches Wallis sanded paper using Pan Pastels with a bit of Unison, Henri Roche and Derwent Pastel pencils. This was drawn from a photograph I took from a window of the narrow gauge train that runs from Porthmadog on the coast to the slate mining town of Blaenau Ffestiniog.

Welsh Meadow

I just finished this pastel of sheep grazing in a meadow in central Wales. My model was a photograph which I had taken while on vacation. We had rented a self-catering cottage on a farm north of the town of Rhayadar and stayed there for a week in 1999.

The picture is 9 by 12 inches on Canson Pastel paper.
