Mr. Handell clearly demonstrates his pastel
painting technique by first using watercolor as an
underpainting on sanded pastel paper. He then develops the
composition of 'Early Spring' using pastel and several
reference photographs. In this DVD he shows how to paint the
beautiful mauves and greys of winter, with the introduction of
fresh verdant Spring greens. there is special emphasis
demonstrating in detail how to paint the lacy branches of
winter trees.
He paints and explains the layering of pastel colors and how
to combine and paint with various colors of similar values to
achieve luminous passages with sharp and 'sleepy edges'. In
addition, Mr. Handell also demonstrates how to control vivid
colors to add 'sparkle' to the finished painting, plus much
more.
Considered the leading pioneer of painting on location with
pastel, an extension of the pastel medium itself, Mr. Handell
and his wife fellow artist Anita Louise West, demonstrate
these and other techniques in Mr. Handell's nationwide
on-location painting workshops: alberthandell.com
