Ok... some more studying. Using smoother paper for the smaller scale, I tried to see how much I can simplify/strengthen the composition on the small ACEO scale - 8.9x6.4cm. A bit of a challenge for the large Townsend Terrage stick that is my cobalt blue. But very good fun. I also played with the titling - rather than sea studies, they are now see studies (as in look/see, but also the German for sea).
Have a look at the see studies:
See Studies #1ACEO, pastel on board8.9x6.4cm
See Studies #2 ACEO, pastel on board 8.9x6.4cm
See Studies #3 ACEO, pastel on board 8.9x6.4cmAnd seeing that I'm determined (or at least intent) to cross-fund my end of year present-buying habit with some sales in turn, these are now available in my Etsy shop [

I love the color in these, Gesa - the blues, greens, purples, and pink - They seem electrically vibrant. Congratulations on the sales!
Thank you, Brian. Yes - definitely electric. I think it's partly the small scale that makes them jump that much... and the lack of neutrals possibly too.
