Diane Edwards

In an enjoyable and highly informative workshop, Diane Edwards shared her techniques for painting with pastels. She covered texturing substrates yourself and the importance of using warm colors for the underpainting of a winter scene.

Even though painting with pastels has the reputation of being “messy”, when handled properly, there is no other medium that allows for such pure, unadulterated, and truly exciting application of pigments. For anyone who loves color, a box of clean, beautifully arranged pastels is (almost) better than a box of chocolates…  

Diane discussed the newest info about pastels, paper or substrates and other things people are doing.
