landscape and seascape, small demos of mixed media for classes - charcoal and coloured pencil. acrylic, pastel and coloured pencil

beach, charcoal and coloured pencil, 7 x 7.5 inches Vivien Blackburn
Experiments.
The scan isn't level - the horizon is :>) - a small version of the charcoal/cp beach trying out a cream cartridge paper as the background. The toothier paper worked much better, this is a little too smooth. I also like working larger better.
And the landscape below was a mixed media demo of acrylics loosely applied to grey card (which shows through in places) with a palette knife and then worked on with pastels and a little coloured pencil.

Winter Fields. mixed media. Vivien Blackburn 8.5 x 5.5 inches

I'm hoping to push on with the canvasses tomorrow.

What a wonderful effect you have created so quickly in this landscape. Love it. All the mediums work so well together. look forward to the finished piece although I would be more than satisfied to have created it as it is.
cheers

Winter Fields took my breath away. It's a gem. It looks so cold, even though there are peaches and rose pinks in there. The scratched-back areas really work.
