On Wednesday, May 13th at 6:30 artist Shauna Shane conducted a painting demonstration using a pastel painting with a water color underpainting.

In a narrated demonstration, Shauna showed how to begin a pastel painting with a watercolor underpainting, discussing the issues that every painting requires. First, good design. Then how to see shapes of shadow and light, negative and positive. Most of all, providing access to discovering the joy found in creating a beautiful painting using this purest of all painting mediums – pastel.
