Thanks! Yes, it takes me about ten watercolors before I'm wanting to go back to pastels again - tricky stuff!

Beautiful and peaceful. I don't know why, but it reminds me of Japan.

Thank you! I'm a big Japanophile; I'm sure that is related to why I like city night scenes so much!

Very eye-catching, the neon glow is done superbly, did you work from a reference photo or otherwise?

akrathan In reply to eastcorkpainter [2012-10-25 15:02:41 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I love pastels for their vividness and the lack of color mixing. I otherwise dislike them intensely to work with. Yes, always from a photo reference - I'm very slow and need scenes with infinite patience.

eastcorkpainter In reply to akrathan [2012-10-25 20:16:52 +0000 UTC]

I can relate, I mostly use photo references and am similarly slow needing a lot of patience!!
