Pastel Workshop



During my recent pastel workshop, I introduced the idea of doing an object in ten strokes. In oils, you can pre mix the color, but in pastels it's an added challenge. This apple was done in ten strokes which encouraged the students to be very deliberate with their color choices and strokes. The onions were another demo using loose strokes and dynamic color.

Pastel Nude 30 min


I didn't have my usual pastel paper and tried this out...fun but prefer Colorfix or Richeson.
