Counter-Light by Rodrigo Costa

A lovely subtle painting Rodrigo. I think the pastel colours really lift the painting, particularly the green in the leaves which give a really good impression of the light. Also the soft colours in the cloth are really well worked too. A very under-stated and satisfying image.

Thank you, Julie, for your visit! Actually, soft pastel is a strong medium, the only that remains as it is, that remains its freshness for almost all life —I like very much to work with it; I feel some connection between soft pastel and my nature. As I have said in one of my comments, soft pastel worked as great help so as to improving my oil paintings... Welcome, Julie, and thank you for your words

Lovely

I love this too. The mixture of pastel and water colour is very nice.

... Thank you, Gudrun!

... Really, the mixing of watercolor and soft pastel works very well, Shirley! One and other means are exciting tools, once they allow what I call the fast shoot to express spontaneity... Welcome, Shirley, and thank you for your visit
