Description
Sycamore Tree Valleycolor study
6X7 pastel on paper.
This is the second pastel study for Sycamore Tree Valley. The first of these color studies I have placed under Scraps. Not because it is not good enough to be in the gallery, but I just didn't want two submissions that look so similar side by side on my gallery.
It has been quite a while since I have used pastels, and therefore had forgotten how messy they can be. LOL Especially when you forget your blending tools (in this case, they were my fingers) already are stained with blue and you are blending yellows.
The inspiration for this came from a picture, by the same title, by . [link] This talented deviant's gallery has, in my opinion, some of the most beautiful landscape photographs. So with her permission I will be capturing some of her wonderful photos on canvas. Sycamore Tree Valley being the first.

both are very nice
I'm not sure which I prefer, they're both good in different ways, though I think the other one hould be in your gallery too.
a very beautiful pastel art work

Very nice colours on the trees hint: perhaps darkening a bit the bottom of the clouds would make them look more dimensional
Nice work!

I think both versions are really nicely done!
Isn't working with pastels so joyful? Especially because you can use your fingers as a tool
