5. Judith Carducci “All About Pastel”

Still-Life Workshop June 23-24
Pastel is such a rich subject that there’s no way to go over it “all” in a couple of days. But we can address how it is a unique artistic tool, both a drawing and painting medium; the variety of strokes; traveling with pastels and caring for them; framing options, advantages and disadvantages of pastel; the different types of pastel and surfaces; a variety of techniques for different “themes” and styles. And, why do we love pastel?

Remember — if you want an announcement to go out, send it to me at the email address below. When you send me something, make sure you send it in a form that is as ready to post as possible — for instance, written in the third person and spell-checked. I also have to void any formatting, so there is no use making it fancy; it has to be just plain text. Also, please double check your web addresses to make sure they work, or I can’t include your links. I’m trying to send Announcements just once a week, so think ahead and get them to me in a timely fashion. Thanks!

Cheers!
