Pastel.
Just experimenting with a variety of texture media on acrylic then working into the surface with pastel.
I applied the texture media with stiff bristle brushes and also scored into it with my scraffito tool before it dried. Not sure I'm happy with this effect - might be too textured. I think I'll selectively sand areas next time before applying pastel.

Love the movement in this one Theresa - and I think the texture really works well. But keep experimenting - this is fantastic to see.

Thanks Sheila. I just love creating textures to help describe the land but sometimes I think I tend to overdo it!!

It's really helpful to get someone else's opinion. Enjoying this daily painting discipline very much!
