BRUSH STUDY - pastel landscape by Susan Roden

BRUSH STUDY

10" x 10" pastel on sanded paper

I've been teaching a lot lately, which is always a challenge

for makes me think. Amazing how much artists create

intuitively! So now I have to think of the words to express

the technique and thought process.

Above, Brush Study, is a work in progress of a Southwest

landscape created during a class at the New Mexico Art

League. It was executed with a alcohol wash underpainting.

Still a ways to go, but progressing!
