Too cold for plein air. Back to pastels and South Africa.

Ellas
I guess this is the first night painting that I made so far. Now I wonder how to paint from life with no light... should investigate the question and buy some heavy-duty travel torch to mix my paints.

Twilight ocean
It was supposed that I will use dark blue color of this Fabriano paper as a part of the painting, to create homogenous dark of the ocean and rocks. But alas,painting with pastels on dark paper is rather unpredictable so I didn't get that milky white sky I wanted. Put it on a shelf for now...

Boat
This is my fourth attempt in oil. I quite enjoy the process, but with oil you never know when to stop, even more so than with pastels. And it takes long time - good for practising patience and persistence.
Btw, I've noticed that my most frequently drawn subjects are boats and black people... Something to muse about.

Seascape
This is one of my rare try of wet-in-wet watecolors technique, meaning you're painting in lots of water, actually. Knowing how fugitive the water is, you can imagine it's difficult. In order to somethow handle the water element I used white wax stick here, to outline subjects. And I've chosen a very limited palette so the colors wouldn't mix too much. The result: the atmosphere of a quiet sunset at the seashore
