Pastel Journal - USA (2019-08)

As a landscape painter, I find

many other uses for violet. I dab dark

violets into wooded shadows to create

depth; scumble light violets over dis-

tant green fields to create distance;

and pop a highlight of rich, light

violet on a shadowed mountain range

to create a spot of sunlight.

With so many shades of violets

available—and so many potential

uses—you shouldn’t shrink away from

incorporating it into your paintings. PJ
