Art Tip: Don’t Overwork Pastels

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

 

One of the biggest problems of working with soft (chalk) pastels is overworking them. Because pastels cannot be mixed like paint, but must be laid down in layers, sometimes when we try to blend them, we continue until they become muddy and lose definition.

In this short video from our series, “Six Super Short Art Tips,” Jim shows how to avoid overworking your pastels.

 

 

 

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.

How to Draw a Waterfall

Draw a Beautiful Waterfall

How to Draw a Waterfall in Chalk with image of a waterfall in the background.

I love waterfalls! When I was about four years old, my family visited Niagara Falls. Although I don’t recall a lot of detail, the falls must have made an impression on me. I still have vague memories of standing there and watching the spray, feeling the mist, seeing people in yellow rain slickers.

But waterfalls aren’t only fun to watch, they’re fun to draw, too. In this week’s blog post, I’ve gathered four short (5-ish minute) videos that you should find helpful.

In the first video, I’ll be using lecturer’s chalk (you can buy it at eternityarts.com). As with my other chalk tutorials, this will also work with soft pastels. The other demos are done with pencil or marker.

So get out some chalk, pastels, pencils, and paper, and let’s have some fun.

To purchase lecturer’s chalk, go to Eternity Arts (eternityarts.com).
