ABOUT
PASTELS
|
|
Pastel is among the most pure & permanent of all art mediums.
Its delicate appearance and versatility make it ideally suited
for portraits. Pastel consists of pure, finely ground
pigment mixed with a binder and shaped into crayons. It is
applied directly to a textured surface which holds it in place.
The individual grains of pastel reflect the light, giving the
paintings a luminous quality unique to this medium. |

PASTEL ON
ART PANEL |
|
A full color painting
on a custom-made, hardboard panel, with a marble dust
surface made especially for use with pastel. The
painting is created in several stages, beginning with a
watercolor layout using wet pastel, and worked into with dry
pastels. This layering process achieves a more varied
range of surface texture and detail than is possible on
paper.
