SUSAN'S . . . PLAYING AGAIN!

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!

BECCA pastels on Stonehenge paper I know . . .  it's been so very quiet in my corner.  All for a good reason. I've been preparing for a pastel portrait workshop, to be held at the San Diego Museum of Fine Art on Saturday, January 12th.  It's part of the Museum's Second Saturday Workshop  Series, which features adults, one-day art workshops  partnered with an exhibit. In my case, the exhibit is America Behold!, and the participants gets a  docent-led tour before taking the workshop.  Exciting, isn't it?   Click here to sign up and additional information of the program.
