Terry Ludwig Pastels

WOW...after using these gorgeous pastels for 5 days they are blowing me away! I hand-picked these babies as Terry looked on...the most distinguishing feature of these pastels is the saturation...as soon as you pick them up your fingertips sport the transferred color...and then there is the color itself...lush bold true. Here is a Southwest scene I did yesterday in Lorenzo Chavez' workshop. You can tell they layer beautifully as well.

Twisted Heights turned into Arrowhead Bluff

So I scrubbed off the image you saw a couple of posts ago (Twisted Heights) and repainted a whole new painting. This one is growing on me

IAPS Pastel Painting Convention

An incredible experience...met a ton of fabulous artists, attended demos and a workshop. A few photos ...
