Georgia Coast Marsh

'Shark Tooth Point' 8x10 pastel
Today I wanted to try a paintng on a piece of Wallis paper in Belgium Mist. I just got a new pack. I haven't painted on the belgium mist since the Albert Handell workshop. Albert encouraged me to paint on white. He said it would make my colors more vibrant. I have used white ever since. But I felt like a change so here is a marsh scene on the belguim mist.
I wanted to thank Miki Willa for nominating me for Katherine Tyrell's Best Painting on a Blog Award. I love Katherne's blog 'Making a Mark'. She does wonderful work and always has something good to share with her readers. I am honored to be nominated and though I didn't make the final five...it is still a great honor to be included with some fantastic artists! You can still vote for your favorite. Check out Katherine's Blog here.

You are welcome. I think you deserve the recognition.
Do you notice a difference between the white and the belgium mist? I just finished one on the white, but don't notice that my colors are any more vibrant than when I use dark toned art spectrum paper.

Great painting, by the way.

Thanks Miki! I can't really tell the difference yet. Maybe after I paint on it some more. It used to be all I ever used. I will keep you posted!
