Serenity

A very nice painting. I like the way the ripples mirror the duck's feathers.

Another beauty..... the water is fantastic!

Stunning work, the water is marvellous and this composition works so well.

Thank you!

An amazing study of water. Did you have a photograph to help you with all the colour nuances? Your painting works so well in every way - inspiring.

Sorry I also wanted to ask what colour paper?

that is fabulous. Hard to believe it is pastel when the water looks so ...watery!

I love this Pastel painting Catherine. Awesome detail and the water looks so real . I must have a look at the rest of your gallery.

This is unbelievable, I nearly through some bread in!

Thanks! Yes Judith- I had a series of photos to work from. I usually work on black or dark blue or brown. This one is black.

Catherine this is beautiful! I love using pastel too and always use colourfix paper. I have a similar photograph but with ducklings instead, you have inspired me to finally have a go at it. Have to get some black paper now though, wouldn't have thought of using black but looking at your picture it is the perfect choice.

This is just so good the water is fantastic!!!!!

water is amazing. Well done. Great portfolio.

such amazing detail in all of your work, lovley , lovley work
