Watch and listen as Master Pastelist Albert Handell
works in his studio combining several reference photographs to paint
In The Cedar Grove At Point Lobos.
Mr. Handell demonstrates and explains his technique by
first developing the composition and drawing with a pencil on sanded
pastel paper. Next, he creates a watercolor underpainting to establish
the color harmony and value pattern. See close up how he demonstrates
the importance of “the touch” as he layers pastels and works with
various colors of similar value to achieve luminous passages with
sharp and “sleepy” edges. As the video flows Mr. Handell pauses to
explain in detail what he has done in the drawing, underpainting, and
painting process. See how he adds “sparkle” with his finishing
touches. |
