New Paltz Dutch Church on Huguenot Street

Watercolor plein air on Huguenot Street.

Pastel Plein Air

Painted this week in New Paltz.

I can get a lot of info into a shorter painting session with pastels. I don't have to work so hard a edge detailing -where I would have to be very focused with palette knife work and the edges of fan brushes to get the delicate lines that I can achieve with a single drawn stroke of a hard pastel stick.
