Delighted to report that one of my paintings, “in the Round’ has been juried in to the 123rd Annual Pastel Society exhibition at The Mall Galleries in London. This painting was inspired by sketching done in Soft our garden during lockdown.
The Pastel Society seeks the best in contemporary dry media, combining traditional skills with creative originality. My painting has an underpainting of acrylics and collage and final layers in Unison soft pastels .
This prestigious exhibition opens on 17 February 2022 to 26 February 2022 10am to 5pm . It is the 123rd Pastel Society Annual Exhibition and has the theme of ‘Fresh Eyes’.
Hi! I just got soft pastels for Christmas and I normally paint with acrylic! Your artwork m is simply gorgeous and inspiring!!!! I found you on google through looking for soft pastels and am trying to figure out how do mixed media properly. If you are painting an under layer of acrylic then soft pastel on dried acrylic, do you need a fixitave at the end? To seal it? Or how do you stop it from further smearing? I would love to hear from you, I can’t wait to see more of your artwork!
