As with the others, this little piece comes in a borderless glass clip frame, ready to hang or slide into any standard 5x7" frame. Free shipping on Sunday, November 27th, the first day that it is listed in my Daily Painters Gallery.

Empty Boat Color Study VII Pastel Painting by Poucher

"Empty Boat Study VII"
Soft Pastel on Wallis Museum Grade paper 5x7"

This little study went on quite the journey today. It began with a purple and yellow wet pastel underpainting. Working with a limited palette it went from strong colors to muted grays. It was scrubbed, wiped off, blended, glazed, hatched and somehow in the end returned to looking very similar to the original empty boat. I did enjoy the journey.
Available in my Daily Painters Gallery for $100.00. Free shipping on the first day that it is posted. Framed in a borderless, glass clip art frame. Ready to hang or slip into a standard 5x7" frame.

Cape Cod National Seashore Dune Shack Artist Residency

Sold

I'm happy to announce that I have been awarded an artist residency at the Margo-Gelb dune shack in the Cape Cod National Seashore for the next two weeks. The shack is very primitive with no electricity or running water. I will not have access to the internet so will be unable to respond to emails and if you do purchase my art, it will be a couple of weeks before I am able
to ship any pastels. Thanks for your understanding.

Mayo Beach, Wellfleet Daily Painting by Poucher

"Mayo Beach"
Soft Pastel on Wallis paper 8.5x11.5"

I love my light color Sennelier pastels for glazing. For example: the texture in the sunlit sand was created by very lightly grazing the side of a peach colored soft pastel over the darker base colors.

Last Light of Summer, Lighthouse Pastel Painting by Poucher

"Last Light of Summer"
Soft pastel on Wallis 11.5x8.5"
Available at the Julie Heller Gallery

As promised, I will try and add a little bit of information about my work with each post. For "Last Light of Summer" I wanted to show a strong contrast of light and dark so I used Terry Ludwig darks for the top of the light and the shaded foreground. If you want rich, strong dark colors, you can't beat Terry's pastels.
