Plein air pastel sketch

Love those colours - I can see you're suffering from the cold (!!).

You're not wrong but you have to suffer for your art!

fantastic colours how do you keep them so fresh my attempts always end up muddy

I live the jewel-like colours. Very nicely painted

Love your use of colour.

Thanks Nik, I use a sanded surface and not too many colours, only have 36 with me on this trip to Spain.

Lovely colours!

A limited number of colours perhaps Richard, but boy do they pack a punch. I love this.

Thanks Sharon it has been an education, so used to studio painting with everything to hand plein air is so different but fun.
