Sunset Beach.

Where it all began. An Original contemporary pastel landscape painting depicting one of the best sights, in his opinion, in the evening, the sun setting over the coast. Taken from one of Chris’ own experiences on the Norfolk coast, breathe in the air, feel the breeze on your face, loose yourself in the moment, this is not a place where you would expect the sun to set in the middle!

Pastels were one of Chris’ first collections, stemming from originals created in Charcoal in the early 2000s. The powerful pigments and expressive marks one can create, fit perfectly with pastels that are soft or hard. Being able to draw a lovely soft background to build upon is a great feeling, using sponges, rubbers or even fingers before tending to use harder pastels to create a delicate, subtly detailed piece.
