Cozy Quarters was a puzzle...how to make it reflect the lighting, change the colors and yet have it harmonize

Bouquet demo pastel

This was the demo from my pastel class on Wednesday.  Flowers are hard!  It's best not to try to draw them with much detail, but to create the shapes with the color and value and carving back with the background color.

"Out the Window"

This was my demo from my pastel class yesterday.  Once again, the view out the window was compelling though quite gray.  I talked about changing the colors to make it more dynamic while still saying mountain and snow.  I had a house in the original sketch as you can see but as I added color, I saw that it was distracting and need to go.
