Still Life in Pastel
The 2 day pastel workshop will include lecture and demonstration each morning, followed by a student painting sessions with a critique at each student’s individual easel in the afternoon. Judy will speak on relevant topics over the duration of the workshop. Topics of discussion will include the history of pastel and modern materials, types of pastels and work surfaces. Judy will demonstrate various strokes and how to apply them. She will discuss pastel as a drawing and a painting medium. Other topics include: rendering a 3 dimensional object on a 2 dimensional surface; controlling color; technical skills; the care, framing and shipping of pastel paintings; and how to make your painting a work of art.
Judith stresses that the workshop attendees paint from life. Painting from photos is not a skill that she will cover in the workshop.

Materials That you will Need:
• Wallis paper (Museum grade) and Ampersand Pastelbord - both in white. (Note: for "on the road" work I have my framer drymount Wallis paper to foam core, thus making a lightweight panel which is its own drawing board)
• soft vine or willow charcoal
• roll of paper towels
• common household sponge (for making a watercolor underpainting or toning the surface)
• box of Nupastels (I recommend the complete set) for portraits & figures: Great American Art Works 78-stick Judith Carducci Selection for Portrait & Figure (new packaging calls it The Carducci Gallery)
• additional for still life and plein air: (NEW) Great American ArtWork 60 half-stick Outdoor Assortment (small, compact, comes in a cigar box!)
