Shape, value and often color play equal and essential roles in composing strong, dynamic paintings. In this pastel painting demonstration, emphasis will be placed on the percentage of contrasting elements such as large shapes to small, light values to dark, warm color to cool. An under-painting of watercolor will begin the composition of a shoreline scene, followed by application of soft pastel.

A seascape artist’s biggest challenge is painting motion. Our subject matter is always shifting, and our job is to convey power, motion and energy in a single still image. In demo, seascape artist Jeanne Rosier Smith will take you through her process of building a seascape that conveys the ocean’s movement and energy. She’ll share with you how she uses her reference photos and videos to develop a painting from start to finish, and how she gets her water to move. Not a pastelist? Much of the information here applies to any medium, and some is specific to pastel. Note: while the demo is NOT intended to be a paint along, Jeanne’s reference photo and materials list will be provided for your reference and information.
