Drawing: Soft Pastels
1.2Ac: Choose from a range of materials and methods of traditional and contemporary artistic practices to plan works of art and design.
What ONE bit of theory has stuck with you as we have talked about the works and ideas of Wassily Kandinsky? Can you use any of his ideas on color and shape in your work as it is developed?
- Blending ANALOGOUS colors with and without finger blending
- Blending COMPLEMENTS with and without finger blending
- Straight and Curved lines with the TIPS and with the SIDES of the pastels
- Filling large areas with a color and then doing smaller details over the top with another DIFFERENT color
- Blending with CIRCULAR marks as well as BACK AND FORTH marks
- Using PAPER as a masking tool
- Adding a WHITE HIGHLIGHT over a darker colored surface
- Working UPRIGHT on an easel versus on the FLAT on a table top
- Cleaning your pastels with paper towel
- Experiment on your own – use your initial images of SKETCHING for the VISUAL experiment inspiration
- CLEANING with SPRAY and a CLOTH RAG – that’s not an exercise but a technique that will clean a lot faster than paper towel
