Vernon Marsh


Perfect day to paint. Perfect temperature and not too windy. The road to the marsh's parking lot was blocked off so we just parked along the side of the road and painted there. Some cars drive pretty fast down this road. I'm practicing drawing within a rectangular frame on my substrate.

I really like your painting. Is it oil pastel, too?
Do you ever use solvent with the oil pastels?

Yes, it's oil pastel. I haven't tried using solvent with them. I get pretty good blending with a rag and I make texture by scraping with a plastic card. I like the portability of oil pastels.
