EDM #174 - Draw a Bridge

I've neglected doing the EDM Challenges for six months! So long! Bad me!

Drawing has also been neglected. Rough drawings have been done in oils by using a brush and paint, and those for pastels are minimal sketches done with a pastel pencil. The good news is that I am no longer frustrated by being unable to do good drawings. If something is recognizable, it is close enough.

Pastel #18

This pastel was done for the WetCanvas! June Landscape Challenge. I usually do the landscape challenges in oil, but the pastels were handy. I didn't think I could manage the scene in either medium, so it didn't matter.

It came out much better than I expected, and the water blues are much more subtle in real life.
