Oil Pastels


Oil pastels were used by impressionist artists Degas ,Toulouse Lautrec and others.The vibrancy of the colours gives good results on pastel paper.The Sennelier brand  pastels that they used is still available today.

Pastel painting in the style of DEGAS

   Degas is famous for his studies of women in pastel.The soft colours of Sennelier pastels create lovely skin tones and his positioning of figures off centre are pleasing and informal.I have used Sennelier pastels and Canson pastel paper for these studies.

Seurat drawings.

 Georges Seurat is one of my favourite artists. He invented new ways of painting such as pointillism and a method of drawing known as Seurat's halo theory using a range tones to create depth  with black and white and grey.






                      This is Agnes who posed  for a life drawing group I belong to in Cambridge,UK.
