My latest, pastel piece, a plate of fruit… completed first in charcoal

Next, I added a bit of purple to the yellow ochre to form the underpainting. I like the soft feel of this piece and how the complementary colours work together. Who would have ever thought yellow and purple could do this.

It has been so long since I’ve posted but for good reason! I’m busy creating new pieces and it feels good! Here is my latest charcoal and pastel piece, a simple bowl of peaches and apples done in ochre.
