A little soft pastel sketch

Did this while watching football, I was surprised it came out half decent.

Got some time to do a little painting

Finally got everything ready for the holidays and got some free time to do a little painting. Did this with a limited palette of titanium white, yellow ochre, venetian red, french ultramarine blue, and payne's gray using an image reference. The photo I took made most of the red disappear, will have to scan it when it is dry.

It has been so long since I last used the pan pastels, I think I forgotten how. This was such a struggle to even get it to a presentable state, I need to start using these more often.

Using left-over paint from last night, I did this little rough rather than scrapping and tossing out the paint.

Another new toy

Built another pochade box, well actually, a small prototype to determine the feasibility of a larger version. This prototype is primarily for 5 x 7 1/8 inch panels. It measures 8.5 x 7.25 x 1.5 inches and weighs around one pound, maybe 2. And it will hold 2 wet panels in the lid with 3/16 inch separation.
