PASTELS WITH SUE KERRIGAN HARRIS IN JUNE

 

Sue Kerrigan Harris gave an enjoyable and informative demonstration of the use of soft pastel on Pastelmat paper.

The best-known type of soft pastels are the sticks that look rather like chalks. The sticks are stroked onto the paper, releasing the coloured dust.

Sue also applied colour in some areas with pastel pencils ...


... sponge tools ...


and colour shapers.


She is an expert in creating the illusion of soft fur and the iris of an eye.

The kitten's face was carefully built up to create a detailed realistic portrait.
