November
The Artist of the Month
|
|
The number one thing I remember since the age of 5 is coloring in my coloring books. That was magic to me. It was the beginning of a lifetime love affair with putting color on paper. I was a very active and athletic kid. I've had many interests over time. Many have come and gone, but my interest in art and color never faded.
Retired from teaching high school art and photography, I have settled in a beautiful spot in AZ and devote many of my hours to painting in my home studio.
I love abstract art and even though much of my work falls somewhere along that spectrum, I sometimes enjoy painting in a genre that is different from what I am used to.
When I'm not in my studio, I enjoy ballroom dancing, pickleball, badminton and horseback riding.

PanPastel - Crash Course
PanPastel Colors are a unique and innovative take on the traditional soft pastel medium, offering professional-grade pigments in a convenient pan format akin to a cake-like consistency. These high-quality pastel colors are designed to provide artists with a versatile and user-friendly tool for their creative pursuits.
Christy, an experienced artist and instructor, has shared valuable insights on the many ways these unique pastel pans can be utilized. From using stencils to build up complex backgrounds and layers to seamlessly integrating the PanPastels with traditional stick pastels, the possibilities for artistic expression are vast. The compact, stackable design of the PanPastel pans also makes them a practical choice for artists who need to transport their materials or maintain a well-organized studio space. Overall, the PanPastel Color system offers a fresh and innovative approach to the beloved medium of soft pastels, empowering artists to explore new creative avenues and push the boundaries of their artistic practice.
Members were able to experience and play with the PanPastels and papers.
Thank you, Christy, for a great demonstration.
