Work in Progress

Local colors have been applied. I will now begin work on the background (sky, tree line, and walking path). This piece is not being wet brushed. I am completely doing it the dry method. In order to better blend the pastel, I am using a pastel brush. As you can see in the picture, the sky and trees are blended in, as the rest of the work is not. It's a fine tooth surface, in order to get the colors to cover it, a brush is essential.
