What a fun time I had doing the demonstration for the Pastel Society of El Paso last Thursday. About 20 people watched me create this 20 x 16" painting of a garden with red flowers:
I love painting in pastels. They are so direct and have such a powerful punch of color. They are also a very fast medium for me. This painting took me about an hour, and that was while I was talking!
I had a terrific group of artists join me for my "Small Jewels" class on Saturday! We each created between two and five paintings. The artists learned that they could create powerful, colorful "jewels" of art on small formats in a very limited period of time in almost any medium. These pieces encourage fluency of drawing, composition and painting, and result in lovely pieces that fit anyplace! Remember--the more pieces of art you produce, the better you get! Production is even more important than product.
My next class is Friday, May 11, beginning about 9:30 a.m. at the Hondo Iris Farm in Hondo, NM (east of Ruidoso, Hwy 7, Blue sign at Mile Marker 284, just off highway). It is aptly about "Painting Irises". See info at the right for details or go to my website: www.SaraJChambers.com
Remember that early, discounted registration deadline for the "Creative Composition" class is June 1. You save 10%! Such a deal.
