Margaret's Blog - Travels with Pastel

Margaret Evans is one of the UK's leading art instructors. She is a fully qualified graduate of Glasgow School of Art, DA, and teaching graduate of London University, ATC. Renowned for her pastel work she also teaches watercolors, oils and other media. Margaret has written articles for mainstream art magazines in Britain and other counties, and she is the author of Painting Figures & Animals With Confidence and Flowers in Pastel.

In this workshop, Margaret shows you how to overcome your fears of working outdoors.   Margaret demonstrates how to capture the sketching quality of subjects, ranging from landscape, marina, town, and figures by building up a painting diary.  In the studio you will learn how to work on the paintings from the information collected plein air.  Margaret will demonstrate on location in pen/wash, watercolor, oil, and pastel with and without gouache. 

UART Premium Pastel Paper is generously providing a couple sheets of their premium pastel paper to each student enrolled in Margaret's workshop.

UART Pastel paper is the choice of many professional pastel, colored pencil, charcoal and water color artists. Its texture is ideal for pastel drawings where consistency is demanded. UART is beige in color as well as PH Neutral and Acid Free. It is available in grades 400 and 500 for a moderate bite, and grade 600 and 800 for a super fine pastel application.
