Amber Dusk

229mm x 152mm on paper

Mid-tone brown Daler & Rowney 

I used a photo for reference for this piece.  

I tried to capture the mood of the photo as best you can when using photos.

I was quite happy with the reflected light on the ridge of the mountain, this was the first time I tried this effect. 

 I blended using my fingers on a lot of the sky, but I purposely didn't blen for the bright yellow light above the sun and the reflections on the water's surface. 

I've learned that blending reduces the light that can be reflected off the particles of pastel dust.
