Art Tip: How to Keep Your Pastel Paintings from Getting Muddy - See the Light Art

You’ll find more tips on how to properly blend pastels on Art Class DVD #4: Color Blending Techniques. Only $14.99 for DVD or digital download.

      Yes, I studied under both Ding and Dave over a period of eight years from 1986-1993. 🙂
