Mini copies of some of the most famous paintings by Vincent Van Gogh. Each is 6x9 cm (around 2,5x3,5")

Plum Bloom

Soft pastel on black Canson MT. Size 20x15cm (8x6")

Don't Drink and Paint

Soft pastel 30x30cm (12x12") on Canson MT Touch paper

Stone Bridge

Soft pastel 30x22cm (12x9") on Canson MT Touch

This is the first time I experimented with the alcohol on Canson MT Touch. The alcohol on a brush was used to create the underpainting, after the initial tonal sketch. The original color of the paper was maroon, but it was completely gone after the alcohol application. I abandoned this paper after a few initial tries, didn't like the texture and how it grabs pastels, but after this I changed my mind and will use more of it in the future.
The detail below is by far my favorite and I tired to make it the focal area.

This is the Stone bridge in Beacon Hill Park, Greater Victoria, BC

Dark Set Rose

---

Soft pastel 15x20 cm (6x8") on Wallis paper. 

This is a quick soft pastel play . The used pastels are Terry Ludwig from the dark set. I have not used all the greens from that set until today. For the under-painting I used second darkest green but in combination with alcohol it ended up almost black.

Physalis blue

Physalis blue, 30x40cm (16x12")

This is a second try on this painting. The first version had a too colorful background and I had to play it down with the grey blue.
