Haven’t posted in quite a while! I struggled with not the right greens. But it was fun and I don’t hate it! I used mi teintes pastel paper.

Hey @junenez , thanks for sharing your art , I tried this too. Mine are quite hard beginners pastels and limited colours , so I totally get what you mean about not having the right greens. You seem to have a nice warm dark green which I envied !. Love the sky holes in your foreground tree , mine got smudged , ah well , try again. I may invest in a softer better set.
Hope I see more of your posts

Here’s my Getting Sketchy. It’s on the pastelmat Matt used. I used some square sticks of Mungyo Gallery Artist’s soft pastels that I bought during Thanksgiving break. I do have rembrandt but wanted to try those new (new to me) ones. The range of greens are brighter, not as natural as the greens rembrandts have, also a little too dusty but not too bad. Actually completed along with Matt kinda my way.

I struggled with the right greens also. But anything pastels is my absolute favorite. Thank you for always posting your Getting Sketchy drawings: thanks to you I did mine

Hi Trevor and Sonia,
Great job! I love trying to keep up Matt (or Ashley) and seeing what I can do in the short amount of time. Thanks for sharing your work. It is fun to see how we all end up with something a little bit different!

Very nice! Love the fence/gate and the defined depth in the mid ground and foreground.

Better late than never. Here is my Gettin’ Sketchy pastel landscape from Dec 4, 2024.
A couple notes: Matt’s drawing was about 5x7 but I decided to do mine as 8x10 which made it easier to include the fence. Also, for the first time I used Canson Mi-Teintes TOUCH paper which is an equivalent to PastelMat. I thought it worked quite nicely. My pastels were Rembrandt (same as Matt used). Finally, as many know I have a problem doing things quickly. I think I spent about 5 hours on this.

Terri @robichon , thanks for sharing , that’s very lovely and cheers me up from the gloomy English weather as it is right now ! I got some Rembrandt half sticks a week or so ago. I have a photo of my youngest son which I want to draw/paint with them when I have time to devote to it. Trev
