This year the winter open studio event is a joint one with all the artists and craft makers at Bowhouse, St. Monans. It takes place on the weekend of 6th and 7th November 2021.
I did this painting on a blue sennelier pastel card using a limited palette which suited the Scottish landscape. I had made a monotone study before hand and used this as refrence for the tones I wanted for the scene.
I am opening my studio to show new work.
The dates that the studio will be open are from Saturday 7th to Sunday 15th August.

This farm shop punnet of strawberries looked so wonderful I just had to do a ink and watermedia sketch. I have my sketch book which has a nice midtone colour which helps speed up the process. White was done with a pitt artist brush pen. A nice treat to eat them after the sketch was finished.
Eduardo Alessandro Studios are celebrating their gallery reopening on Monday 26th April with a mixed show.

Pastel pencils can be so fragile. I often have broken them in the process of tying to get a point. Costly mistakes. Below I have taken some photographs showing how I have learned not to break the points.
I use a knife with a sharp blade to create a squared off edge see below
Photo below shows stage where it is squared off.
Final carefully whittled down to a nice point to work with.
