Marsh Colors IV
pastel
3″ x 3″
SOLD to collectors in Saratoga Springs, NY.

This is the 4th, and last in the series of mini marshes. This one is also one of my favorites – it captures the marsh turning gold for fall.
A fellow pastel painter - Loriann Signori asked how my approach to a pastel differs from my work with oils. My approach is pretty similar to both, but there are a few differences. The great thing about pastels is that for me, there is little to no set-up and clean up time. So for someone with limited time in the studio, they are great to just grab and go. I still like to work on a toned background no matter which medium I’m using. Usually, my canvases are toned a pale ochre/orangey color. I’ve just started to venture out onto different toned paper for the pastels and so far, I LOVE the effects of the deep red. I always do loose sketches before I apply the paint/pastel. My oils get their texture from the thickness of my paint application, while the pastels get their texture from the actual support surface – which is usually Colorfix heavyweight paper (similiar to a very fine sandpaper). I love the immediacy of pastels for times when studio time is precious. It’s quicker for me to get the colors I want with pastels – it’s as simple as picking up a pastel stick, or layering a couple of colors to get the one I need. With oil, I sometimes have to mix several different colors to get just the right one. My oils paintings are pretty immediate too, once I have my colors mixed! I rarely work in layers, and almost always work on a painting until it is complete – never allowing the oil dry before the painting is done. I do enjoy using both for all the reasons mentioned above.
