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!
