This pastel painting is on pastel board and measures 24"X35". This painting took about 3 hours. The focus for this painting was trying to get as complete a statement in the quickest time. Although I was painting a little longer than some of the plein air painters I was with, the medium I use seems much quicker than oil painting. Michael Situ said he liked the compostion but thought there should be more aerial perspective to separate the foreground from the background. He also thought the foreground should be warmer to increase the aerial perspective. One of his methods is to compare each corner of the picture. When he compares them to each other he is looking for the corners in the background to be cooler than the foreground. He also has different temperatures between the pairs of corners in the front and the back.
