Still at the beach

Edisto Dune

if only in my head. Wishful thinking really. This is the latest in my beach series done with an underpainting of washed Inktense watercolor pencils then Coloursofts over top. I'm still trying to let my pastel studies influence these colored pencil pieces, keeping things a little loose and as expressive as I can. I liked the soft morning light of this scene creating that glow on the dune grasses.

    Oh my, what a lovely drawing. The path leads unto the center of interest, and the colors on the grasses there are warm and beautiful

    This is WONDERFUL! At first glance I would have sworn this was a pastel drawing. Very expressive.
