Dawn

It’s funny how things sometimes evolve. In comparison to my earlier paintings the small colorstudies are less detailed, lines have almost vanished. The values are very limited, now it’s range is much closer and with a more monochromatic color. The fog pastels have brought me back to an old field: my »night« pastels.

The new sketches derive from a trip we did last weekend and you can see how the idea evolved from the initial sketches I did on site.
