Join me at Pastel Live to Unveil the Beauty of Pastels! 

In preparation for this year's Pastel Live, I've crafted an educational demonstration that highlights the remarkable qualities of the pastel medium. This year, I decided to focus on how to work with pastel from an oil painting, showcasing the intense colors and unique beauty that pastels offer.
In my demonstration, I explore how the vivid colors of pastels, particularly yellows and reds, can be enhanced with a mixture of hues to produce a dynamic mauve. Additionally, I delve into the interplay of colors in different lighting conditions. You'll see how vibrant pastel colors appear opaque in sunlight, while the shadows are slightly darker and more transparent, creating a striking contrast.

Join me at Pastel Live to discover the intense and captivating world of pastels, and to learn techniques that will enrich your artistic journey.

My Pastel for Pastel Live 

I decided that my pastel demonstration for this year's Pastel Live be primarily educational.
I also decided I wanted to demonstrate how to work with Pastel from an oil painting and show the intense colors and beauty of the pastel medium.

Usually one paints an oil from a pastel as if the oil was more important than Pastel. This is in reverse....(I don't believe I emphasized that in the video).
