Sidelighting On IOM House

[Trier]

Another somewhat oldie.
Based on a view from the Virtual Paintout visit to The Isle Of Man.
Sidelighting always fascinates me.
The black is all charcoal, and the rest is pastel.
I used brown Kraft paper and the wrinkles show from certain angles, but I think they give a somewhat pleasing effect.

I have to fight the temptation to fiddle with it with some good pastels.

I love the light in this--the light green grass brings that side lighting out so well. It comes bolting down the hill. Beautiful work!

Very atmospheric. I like the palette. Well done.

Love the mood you've created with this, and I like the effect of the wrinkled Kraft paper - it feels like it adds a bit of extra character that fits the scene.

So happy I didn't miss this one! The lighting is very well done - that lighter green leads the eye right over to the house.

The rest is so full of atmosphere, and story. Beautifully done!

Thanks Arty.
I would like to bring out the blue and a hazy cloud more, when I get more skilled.
