Nancie King Mertz's Stunning Skies & Water Pastel Set/80:

These luscious colors were chosen to capture the final light of the day that pulls
people to coastal regions.The brilliant skies and the color reflected in the waters demand a full range of pigments, both warm & cool.Fifty-two of these sticks were used to create this cover piece and more were added to provide the range needed for painting various sunsets and bright water.For years I have painted along the Northern Panhandle for Florida’s Forgotten Coast Invitational.The natural unspoiled beauty
of the Panhandle with its low-rise historic and vanishing structures provides a
rich choice of subject and open skies.

This selection will help you push color and discover the palette of America’s coast,
and its companion, the “Lush Coastal Foliage” set, will round out your collection
of all colors needed for painting life near the water.

Nancie King Mertz's Lush Coastal Foliage Pastel Set/80:

Humid coastal climates produce countless lavish greens and blooms, and these pigments were chosen to create the many subtleties the variety of greens provide.Greens in shadow and light, in mist and fresh growth all demand a shift in hue and value.This set focuses on the selection of greens that many sets lack- no jarring greens here, just the true colors found in nature, at different times and conditions of the day.

Due to strong coastal light, structures often reflect the hues of their surroundings.
Many of the colors here will helpmeld structures into the environment, resulting in better color harmony.Pops of “bloom shades” are included too, when the greens
are putting on a show.

This selection will help you discover the palette of America’s coast, and its
companion, the “ Stunning Skies & Water” set, will round out your collection
of all colors needed for painting life near the water.
