Artist's Comments

this is a pastel i made of one of the most beautiful places i´ve ever been to, a brazilian national park called "chapada dos veadeiros", located in the state of goiás. i went there last year with some friends, it was a very cool trip.
i took lots of pictures that i liked a lot, and i made this pastel from one of the pictures.

soft pastel on paper - 2003

update: i changed the picture

That is amazing how soft you got that while retaining the sharpness and contrast of the sky against the land. I don't know why but i am really drawn to the little bit of orange in the tall grass on the left. You rendered the clouds like magic.

i liked your comment because you got to a very interesting point when you noticed the sharp skyline. to me that is indeed one of the things i appreciate the most about this painting, and it did take a lot of meticulous work. i had to sharpen and soften the traces using its contrast color (the brown and green moutain against the white/blue sky) and i used a lot even my little finger to soften the trace´s outline and also to sharpen them, and by doing both the pastel´s grainy outline disappears.
thanks again for the comment :)

My heart beat beats me senselessly.
Why's everything got to be so intense with me?

So soft and lush. You should do something sensual in pastel or oil paint since you're so good at blending. I love the dark shadows on the road. The composition is good in this piece also. A good road always boosts the composition. :)
