A pastel washes workshop by Susan Roden at the SDMA

IN THE POOL

Still playing away over here with a paintbrush!

I have been creating sketches with pastel washes.

I know many pastelists create art with undertones

of washes with acrylics and watercolors. But I have

been applying water to a cardboard substrate with

added stroking with the pastel sticks. Sure does

speed up my typical layered process!

All of this is in preparation for my upcoming

Second Saturday workshop at the San Diego

Museum of Art to be held on Saturday, July 12th.

This is held in conjunction with the Sorolla and America

exhibit, which I hear is amazing!

"PINK FIELDS" was the demo piece in illustrating washes on textured panels in an impressionistic style.
