ROLLING BEACH -9" x 7" pastel on cardboard by Susan Roden

ROLLING BEACH
9" x 7" pastel

I've been gearing up to instruct a workshop coordinated 
with the "Sorolla and America" exhibit at San Diego Museum of Art. 

Sorolla was known to grab anything to sketch on a daily basis
and many times it was onto cardboard. So the workshop is creating
seascape sketches with pastel washes onto cardboard. 

Above "ROLLING BEACH" is one completed example. I found 
the substrate suitable with enough texture to grip the pastels, as well 
as being a good mid-tone for an underbase. 

The workshop will be held Saturday, July 12th from 1- 4:30pm.

A docent tour is included with the workshop!

Sold! GLOW, by Susan Roden

GLOW 11" x 14" soft pastel SOLD - private collector So nice this pastel went to a wonderful home! Now I'll live in my memories of the Petrified Forest  National Park, where I did a residency and was  the inspiration for this painting. Thank you!

BLAZING RED

GLOW 11"h x 14"w pastel black with gold trim frame sold -   private collector Night fell fast. The lower half of a thick strand of dark clouds turned blazing-red from the sun as it dropped to the horizon. And the night glowed.

MEMORIES AND FAVORITES

DIGNITY pastel SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR After the holidays, I begun to reminisce of people from my past.    Reflecting, I realize that life experiences have  enriched me greatly in so many ways.  Dignity is not only of a friend I lost touch with,  but also a personal, favorite painting that went to another home. Fond memories.... gone but not forgotten.
