Mixed media paintings

These paintings are worked up from initial en plein air studies . They are a series of larger works, using mountboard as a base then charcoal or ink to create expressive mark making , an under painting in acrylic paint , then a coat of clear gesso and pastel on top . The idea is to create a multi layered interesting surface.
