PORTRAITS IN PASTELS

BY ALISON BURCHERT​

Foundation Days...

Picture

A limited Palette

Basing the palette around hot and cold colours, we mix, match and blend to create every colour imaginable. This eliminates the use of any browns, greys or greens!
Picture

From the Screen

While I work beneath the camera, you will be watching and following my every move. This enables you to understand and retain information as you apply it to your own work.
Picture

Values

Getting tonal and colour values right are a major part of producing photo-realistic paintings. We will cover all aspects of this in class.

Colour Mixing...

Picture
You will be given colour charts as a basic guide but the real challenge will be to mix and match your own interpretations.
Picture
Applying pastel chalk is the basic ingredient to the underpainting of your portrait. understanding which colours to use will be explained so that eventually you will see the colours you need without having to spend out buying endless boxes of skin tone chalks.
