Betsey Nelson - Field Pastel Sketches



Betsey Nelson - Field Pastel Sketches
These are two small (5x7) or smaller field sketches out of multitudes of sketches i sometimes do while scouting areas for plein air painting. Sometimes just the act of doing them looses up my color senses and some wonderful surprises happen. Plein air painting for me is about discovery not about just recreating the scene in front of me. There really needs to be more to make it stand on it's own. My search is to find that and i can only do that when i open up to allow it to happen.
