YET ANOTHER, BUT LARGER painting of the lavender garden I spent time in in June. This time it’s an image of the complete farm. In a future piece I’ll include the dozens of adults and children, festive tents and activities. But for this painting I simply wanted folks to enjoy the garden itself.


An additional photo of the location along with my easel and painting. I sat to do paint so I could be at eye-level with the house – looking across the lavender field, rather than stand with a downward vantage point. Also, you can see that I elected to edit-out the black tarp and shells in lieu of the clay soil.

Di's Tips
Soft Pastel on a Roll!

Use your muscles and be brave when painting in pastel. Take those sticks, break them in half and do some rolling up-and-down, back-and-forth to bring energy and thick impasto to your painting. (That is of course, if you are using Terry Ludwig’s most excellent rectangular sticks :)
