Painting from Photographs!

with Maggie Price

Date: 3.29.11 | Time: 1pm EST | Cost: FREE

Join Maggie Price as she takes you through the steps to paint a pastel landscape from photos. Expanding on the creation of the painting "Winter Palette," featured in her new book Painting Sunlight & Shadow with Pastels, Maggie will use a powerpoint presentation to share additional steps and concepts not included in the book, including the following:

Critical considerations for a strong composition
How to avoid the pitfalls of painting from photographic references
The magic of underpainting with pastels
Keeping values clear and under control
How to avoid "making mud" and overfilling the tooth of the paper by careful application of pastel strokes

Maggie will share not only her favorite underpainting technique, but other techniques and principles of painting in pastel which will help you avoid reworking and revising your paintings, and keep a fresh, lively feeling throughout. The powerpoint presentation wraps up with a Q&A session where you'll have a chance to ask Maggie questions.
