Studio Demo's for day #2
Pastel demo #3, 5 x 5"
Pastel demon #4, 5 x 5"
Day 2 of Portland Open Studios and I'm half way there! Here are 2 more demonstrations that I completed before a group of visitors. Each small demo takes about 15-20 minutes to paint. It's a little like rubbing your stomach and patting your head at the same time, but instead, you are painting with a palette of pastels and an easel before you AND a crowd to talk to while explaining every step of the way....over and over again. A huge benefit from this is that I now know and have explained several times why I under-paint, what pastel is made of, and why I don't spray with fixatif. Many questions from the curious all walk away better understanding just what exactly pastel is. Are you still wondering? All I know is that it's FUN, FUN, FUN!

Nice demos from both days! I can't even imagine trying to paint and talk at the same time.
Hi Donna,
Thanks for the comments. After painting for as many years as I, the talking comes along eventually. But the concentration is definitely diminished!
