Pastel Techniques That Suggest Light


The focus of this workshop will be suggesting light in the landscape using different techniques.
We will practice using water media to lay a foundation of value and color to make the
suggestion of light more effective with pastel.

Also techniques using contrasting values and temperature to suggest light more effectively.
Techniques with pastel are very ineffective without a good understanding of composition and
values so we will study how to create a good composition and use values to suggest form and
depth.
​
We will also take a look at how to use color to suggest light by understanding color temperature
and the color wheel.
