Autumn Longlands Barn II

Stella Downing PS | Pastel and Charcoal With Acrylic Wash | 25 x 20 inches

“I am lucky to live in a lovely part of Worcestershire where I am surrounded by beautiful countryside which I find inspirational.

 I am fascinated by the gradual changes in nature and quality of light and changing colours when working outside. It is easy to lose all sense of time and get totally absorbed in a place. I hope that some of this excitement and love of nature is captured in my work.

Most of my artworks are undertaken ‘en plein air’ sometimes finished in one sitting usually using soft pastels and charcoal on Pastelmat paper or watercolour papers. At other times, the initial studies and photographs provide inspiration for larger work. This usually involves working in pastels and charcoal on mountboard prepared with inks, acrylic and gesso. My intention is to try to create atmospheric works conveying a connection to places that I have visited.” – Stella
