The Last Load

Painted on UArt 400 grit sanded in black. I use a metallic watercolor underpainting that serves as my roadmap as I apply pastel.
I use primarily Terry Ludwig pastels, some Jack Richardson, J Ludda, and Diane Townsend. I used my new set of Diane Townsend metallic pastels for some final marks.

This Cline Off-Highway Dump Truck is in a pasture off Hwy 60 between Plumerville and Toad Suck, AR.

I was attracted to the great shapes, texture, light and shadow. It is also the first dump truck I’ve painted.
