I have this pastel. It was painted\u00a0on location and then worked on in the studio. I wrote a blog about it (click here<\/a> to read it). It received some wonderful comments. But I’ve never been completely happy with the pastel. I feel it’s an overworked pastel and just not the way I want it to look.<\/p>\n

Since it’s been worked on so much, I decided to rework it into something else and capture the process for this blog. Although doing this was a risk, especially knowing a few people really liked the piece, I was\u00a0ready to plunge in. I figured no matter what happened, since I was unhappy with the pastel as it was, whatever happened next was just fine. I may end up with\u00a0a wonderful new piece or I may end up with a mess. If a mess, I can always wash the whole thing clean! And if a new piece, then yay!<\/p>\n

Here’s the original overworked pastel:<\/p>\n

\"Gail<\/a>

 <\/p>\n

First off, I gently wipe the pastel with a paper towel to soften all the edges and blur the image.<\/p>\n

\"Gail<\/a>
Gail Sibley, \u201cAfternoon Walk, Dukes Road,\u201d pastel, 12 x 9 in. The wiping leaves the ghost of the original image.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now where do I take it? Do I make it abstract? One thing’s for sure, I’m done working on the landscape that’s there. I’ve reworked it\u00a0so much\u00a0that I feel like it’s dead. But\u00a0there’s still an interesting pattern of light and dark that I can work with. I’ll also look to\u00a0see if there’s any other visible form, for example, figurative, or I’ll turn it on its side and see if there’s another landscape possibility.<\/p>\n

\"I<\/a>
I can no longer call the piece by its original title as now it’s a work in progress. I’ve decided to use the original light and dark pattern and I use vine charcoal to outline the main pattern I see.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now what? I decide to choose a limited palette from the colours used in the original. I pick the yellow and a blue as the primary colours. I add magenta and a cool red. Then I began to add the chosen colours to the outlined shapes.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>
A new piece begins its evolution. The pattern of light and dark is still hinted at from the original painting but we no longer have a realistic looking landscape. (You can see I also tried\u00a0a mauve colour which I immediately rejected and covered up.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hmmm, interesting I think. I continue.<\/p>\n

\"More<\/a>
More lines added, a couple more colours added.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

I wonder about drips and add water along one edge. But I discover that drips don’t\u00a0happen that easily in pastels. (You can see there’s a bit of darkness along the right hand side. That’s wet\u00a0pastels.) I feel\u00a0that how I’ve been working, hatching the pastel, has begun to look too much the same.\u00a0Pretty, I think, and I don’t\u00a0want pretty. I also feel\u00a0the big swooping shape takes\u00a0you right out of the picture. So I decide to introduce long lines across the whole picture plane to stop that movement as well as to add some discomfort to the prettiness. Will it work?<\/p>\n

\"Lines<\/a>
Lines added. These add complexity to the whole thing. When adding the lines, I was considering how the viewer’s eye moves around the painting. I want to keep the viewer there!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stepping back, I think\u00a0I’ve added more interest to the piece. But there’s\u00a0still work to be done.<\/p>\n

\"Worked<\/a>
Worked a bit further. More lines added, more shapes delineated.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The same progression as above but in black and white. This really shows up the pattern of darks and lights.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

I begin to see light filtering through slats of wood or metal. Like the elevated train platform in Chicago or the Eiffel Tower. With this idea in mind, I continue on. I decide to break up some of the large dark shapes further.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The piece as far as it’s gotten. I don’t know whether it’s finished or still has a way to go. Or is it an overworked pastel once again? Time will tell.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

And here it is in black and white:<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The pastel as it is shown in black and white.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

The images above follow the vertical format of the original piece. Let’s see what happens when we look at it horizontally:<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The same image rotated horizontally.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"And<\/a>
And here are the eight Sennelier pastels used.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I don’t know if it was a good idea to follow the light pattern that was there originally but that’s what I did and this is what I ended up doing and how the piece progressed.<\/p>\n

I’ll need to sit with the painting and see what happens, to decide whether I’ll need to go further, stop, or let go of the whole thing again. I’ll let you know. In the meantime, I’d love to know your thoughts about what I did!!<\/p>\n

Wishing you a splendid 2015. Let’s see what wonderful things we can create and discover in pastel together!!<\/p>\n

PS. On my mind while working on this pastel was the 7th January shooting of 12 people at the Paris offices of the satirical weekly paper Charlie Hebdo<\/a>. Although this painting\u00a0doesn’t reference it directly, the awful event was in my subconscious for sure.<\/p>\n

PPS. It feels good to be back in the studio. I’ve been working at completing the Pastel Painting En Plein Air online videos (done) and I’m now beginning to choose\u00a0a place to store the videos online, decide on and set up a portal for access, and determine a method for purchasing. All computer stuff i.e. NOT in the studio!<\/p>\n
