Always impressive... Cloudy day, the light was white. No wind. Just quiet and warm atmosphere.
The sea was so calm on this day: despite of the height, the cliffs were offering a delicate perspective, almost as if a marble scuplture had been placed on a beautiful pond. (isn't it called Côte d'albâtre?)..
I chose pastel, this time, playing with the greens, greys... Also, I was feeling like doing a bit of drawing.
After several weeks on watercolour, it was quite exciting to open the pastel box!
Here it is:
Etretat - Cliffs I
I will try to work on several views of these cliffs. Maybe in next post? We'll see... In the meantime, nice to wander again in this beautiful landscape.
