Sunset on the Lake
This was painted as an experiment on using alcohol spray for setting a pastel underpainting. After a rough underpainting was placed, it was saturated with an alcohol spray causing runs and drips in some places, then allowed to dry completely. Looking for the after affects of the saturated paper. The Canson when totally dry resumed it's flat shape. Then some of the underpainting was allowed to show through to add an additional glow to the painting.
