"The River meets the Sea"** pastel 8" x 11"
Well the headland IS in the sea (English Channel actually) so it doesn't really show melding of river and sea. Nice title though! Yes, pine trees look a bit different here (see post at Jan 29) since taken from a different direction and angle. AND I believe water above is a back channel; the Otter is a small river.
Textured paper and detail equal hard to do; it's like trying to draw on top of a grating! Next time I'll try sanded. Pleased with water - layers and layers of pastel (most of which fell off or I inhaled) created that flat sheen of still water, a few slightly ruffled areas in middle. So there are some winning notes!
Enjoy!
