I brought panpastels with me today, and they worked out extremely well!
They are exactly what I need, actually.

The priest came over to say hi again, he remembered me from when he said hi a couple of weeks ago.

The biggest annoyance I have with cathedral-painting is they turn the spotlights on and off.
Honestly, everything looks better with the spotlights but they are only really on for mass so I don't have enough time to get the best lighting effects.

The spotlights had just come on in this picture, it was not the lighting scenario I had to paint from, unfortunately:

I made myself a custom St Pat's PanPastel Palette!
A while ago, Dru sent me her entire secret stash- Dru, who is a watercolor wizard, acquired a very significant amount of panpastels and never even told me- and one day they just showed up in the mail!!
Of course I already have ALL the panpastels, so these are all duplicates but that's nice because I can keep them in this travel palette and my main collection stays together.

I think it needs some tweaks- I don't think I need the black one after all, and I might ditch the Paynes Grey too, and put in a few more color highlight colors. That white marble is so nice, especially with the spotlights on and the windows reflect everywhere.
I like this view, this is with the spotlights on, I don't really know why they insist on turning them off.
I love the way the windows reflect all that color around the arch.
ReplyDeleteLucky you getting some freebies. Sweet of Dru to gift them to you.
Next time the priest comes to chit chat ask him if there is any rhyme or reason for the lights going off and on. Maybe he can be influential and leave them on for you if he sees you.
