Painting 33

Ref 1039.- Watercolor & Pastel.- Over Stardream old gold color paper

These two media have very different surface characteristics, pastel is opaque and dense, while watercolor is thin and translucent, however they can be combined successfully to créate images of considerable depth and subtley, the watercolor is usually laid first, then overpainted with pastel.

These are the steps  of this particular process;

1st.- Watercolor lines

2nd.- Pastel strokes laid over the dried watercolor to build up texture;
