Mountain Haybales

'Morning in the Mountains' 8x10 pastel
Today's painting is the demo I did for my class today. We talked about using underpaintings for our pastel paintings. Our focus today was on doing a complementary color underpainting. I chose this scene because it was very green and I felt that the complementary colors would help give the greens some variation and life.
