Wow...pastels are a new area for me. I love the water soluble oil pastels (Portfolio) but I have never attempted to work with chalk pastels. Very cool video. k
Chalk pastels are wonderful, except for the dust. I also like oil pastels, but I don't think they ever really dry. Water soluble oil pastels? Must be new. I have tried the water soluble oil paint. That was nice. There's nothing like graphite and black and white charcoal pencils. But remember, your portrait need not be any of these. Could be a collage or clay. Maybe cake decorating...Whatever...Imagine.... {+:
Being an artist my entire life, I can identify as one striving to be a life long learner as an artist, student of the arts, and teacher. As an educator, I’ve taught from Pre-school to college level, and lively senior citizens.
Idealism with making the world a bit cleaner, I thought recycling paper in a “throwaway” world was something meaningful that I could do, and incorporate into my art. Doing my own little part for Mother Nature, I could create beautiful art from trash. I was Green before it was the buzz.
Oh how I miss working in pastels....I LOVED portrait painting in that medium... Great Video, thanks for sharing Kate... and a great idea
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! I have not done pastels for years, and this does look like fun.
