On Day 1 of the 3rd Annual Pastel Live, Albert Handell combined two reference photos to create a nature-inspired scene of a mountain stream, using light marks in the beginning because, he says, “If you work lightly, you can change things easier.”

Using a photo only as a general guide allows him to take more creative freedom, and to open his “memory box” for a unique painting.
