Susquehanna river, X-post from pastel forum.

Yesterday had a chance to sneak out for some Plein Air painting with the group of great local artists.

Had a wonderful painting session, weather was perfect, light was perfect, everything was perfect, but timing... needed to rush my sister to her job, right about when I was half-way done... So, painting took some finishing touch up after I was back home. Turned out half-way decent at my opinion.

Tatiana, this is very nice. I do have a suggestion, though. Could you lighten the bridge a bit as it goes back? That brown is so strong. Otherwise this is nice.

I'll take another look, Louise, thank You!

I had no chance to finish it correct on location, so I'm pretty sure - something could be slightly off. :-)

Nice painting. I paint the Susquehanna south of you a lot. I was out this morning in Wrightsville and got rained on :(

Hi, Hank!

Oh, no way I'll go out this morning! Afternoon - maybe. The reason is - mostly when I'm out, I work on La Carte and that stuff cat not stand any water!.. I look at your works, very nice painting. I think you will totally enjoy your water-soluble oils, I love mine. I tried few brands and honestly may say, I like Holbein the best. :-)
