In this demonstration, Brian Freeman will show how he approaches painting cows in pastel, breaking the subject down into simple shapes, color, and light. He will talk through his process, share practical tips for handling pastel, and show how to suggest form and texture without getting fussy. The emphasis is on clear observation, solid design, and practical techniques that can be applied to any animal subject. January Meeting!Program: Ursula Schneider - Using Ink with Pastels
Ursula gave a great informative and entertaining presentation on using ink with your pastels. She likened it to coloring book style. She used Speedball ink to create bold, black lines and shapes on her paper. In the demo, she had a pre-drawn image (in ink) of the side of a wall with a door, window, and electrical boxes on the wall. She used Saunders Waterford 200 lb hot press paper for the demo. After putting down a light pastel coat, she used alcohol and a brush to create the underpainting. She then filled in areas with pastel color, alternating alcohol, then finishing touches with pastel marks. Great job Ursula, thank you! by Jeanne Conant-Kramer
