Today we enjoyed a pastel demonstration by Maureen Drake.
She began by warming up with a 40 minute demo of her blending tecnique.
Then Maureen began work in earnest with a very complicated scene of trees, flowers, water and reflections.
At the end of the afternoon, with a not quite finished painting. Such a shame we ran out of time, Maureen worked like a demon!
Next week we shall be putting everything we have learned into practice. In the meantime, to whet your appetite, here are a few examples of my pastel work from quite a few years ago.

Fun to see others varied techniques.
Love your ballerina pieces Sharon!
beautiful "old" pastels...do you switch back and forth between pastels and paint? I do like them both also.
Love these 'old' pastels Sharon, especially the ballet class ones. Absolutely gorgeous. More please!
Great Work
Pastels are amazing. Do you still have them? They are very good.
