Whitby Art Society Pastel demonstration 12th August

Thank you to everyone who came to my Pastel demonstration last night. I hope you enjoyed it?

This is the painting as it was when I finished the demonstration.

 

To complete the painting, I carried out the following steps:

• Continued 'blocking in'
• Sharpened all the important edges with pastel pencils
• Added details ie ropes, numbers, lettering etc.
• Enhanced the reflections using pastel pencils

This is the finished painting, 'Canal Reflections / Venice'

If you have any questions, please contact me.

The first delivery of my book has arrived & we're all delighted!! Especially Winsor who gets a new box to play in!

If you would like to purchase a signed copy, you can do so by visiting the Shop on my website, or if you're in the area, call at the Studio to pick one up. Just give us a ring first & we'll get the kettle on!!
