Description
Pastel Artists: Make a still life come alive with pastel painting instruction from Alain Picard!
Alain starts by introducing you to the basics: how to portray basic objects and how light interacts with them. Study how light wraps around a spherical object and how to portray this in pastels. You’ll also learn Alain’s method for creating form through the depiction of light, and practice capturing light and shadows in quick value studies. Alain demonstrates how to set up and add lighting to a scene featuring apples on a piece of glass to compose a still life that has dramatic lighting elements. You’ll follow along as he paints the scene step-by-step. Build the darks, middle tones, and light areas & highlights in pastel to create forms and reflections. With Alain’s help, you’ll learn how to pick your focal point and refine your composition to turn ordinary objects into stunning still life paintings.
