Beach View Qld by keith agar

WOW. beautiful pastel work. I like the atmosphere you created.

Agree with Anthony. Again you have managed the water and wet sand so very well. What paper are you using Keith?

Hello Julia.Quite honestly I cant remember which paper I used.Normally I buy a pad where the weight is around 110gsm or greater.As long as the paper has a reasonable 'tooth'.If not you cant layer the pastel. I almost invariably give the sheet a layer of white then start slowly building up on the various effects I want working from the top down.Any other way and I find that you have to keep fixing up smudgesRegards Keith.

Hi Keith. Have only just found your portfolio. Love this pastel, especially the figures and the reflections. Incredible that it's only 8 x 10 inches. Excellent.
