Iām glad I went through this thread. I completed the pastel landscape course as well and about the time I finished, I felt like I had learned so much that I wish I had known from the beginning. So I think I will pick my favorites and redo them. Iām uploading two pastel drawings I did for my twin grandsons.

Hi @Jeanine - oh wow!!! Thanks for sharing your art work. I am glad you found this post too. I like both of your drawings, but the lion really blows me. Love it how you enhanced the majestic mane even further with the background.

Thank you Buddy! I have found that when Iām doing a piece for someone in particular, a little something extra comes through. Iām glad you can see it.

Thanks Terri! I picked that up from the complementary color schemes that Matt and Ashley refer to. I knew the blue would enhance the orange and am glad it came through so strongly. Appreciate your comments.

Hi dear friends, it took me quite some time to finish the next sketch of the pastel landscape course realizing, I am struggling a lot getting sketchy, as I tend to get wrapped in details. So this course and medium will teach me to loosen up.
I wish everyone having a great time,
Buddy

Buddy,
This turned out lovely. The shadows really help this artwork to come alive. I really like the color scheme you are using. Looking forward to the next one!

Thank you Teri, I think that the greens and reds are too strong, but itās been fun. Yeah, finished lesson 5 ārocks in landscapesā using Pastelmat paper.

Buddy,
I like the muted reds and greens. This one also turned out really nice. Your interpretations are what makes these all so lovely.

#Buddy the pastel landscape course was one of my first. When I took it I knew nothing about pastels nor the importance of paper type. I am toying with the idea of going back to my favorite landscapes and doing them again on sanded paper this time. If I do, Iāll add before and after photos. Itās been tricky for me though; Iām home for a few weeks then go to my daughters to help with her twins for a few weeks. Lots of back and forth in my life right now so it may be awhile before I can attempt the redos.
