“Oban Sunset 2.”

Pastels: Faber Castell Polychromos and Inscribe on Clairefontaine Pastelmat, approx 60mm x 110mm.

The dramatic sky and sea take centre stage at sunset across Oban Bay in Scotland and the silhouettes of the islands of Mull and Kerrera become the supporting act. A perfect end to a memorable day.

These little sketches show initial colour notes which I use for the first layer of pastels.
