I plan to post current paintings on my blog site. I'm not much of a writer but I do love to paint. I do oils and pastels and I teach workshops. I plan to sometimes post demos and talk about how to create a painting as well.

sill life in green....oil
Still life in Green...oil on canvas demo from my oil painting class
And it was 10 stroke time in my pastel class...the pear was done in 10 strokes. It really comes together after the background is put in.
I cannot leave this as a "NO COMMENTS" entry! The 10-stroke pear is simply gorgeous. All the fruit I have in the house at the moment is sad & tired--otherwise I'd be turning out my own 10-strokers. I really must do these as daily exercises--it makes one think carefully about every color, temperature & method of application of each stroke. And this, of course, should be done in every painting I attempt! Aline, what pastels do you use a lot? Ludwigs, Senneliers, Schminkes--usual suspects? Do you use much 'underpainting?'
