But by spending more time developing an interesting underpainting, you can integrate it more effectively with your subject. Learn about new ways to use textures, masking tape, strong constrast, rollers, and so forth, to create underpaintings that work with your style."

Painting Landscapes & Light using Pastels with Jerry Baldwin: FREE Art Demo at DANIEL SMITH Art Supply Store
This Sunday, April 11th, 2010, the Seattle DANIEL SMITH Art Supply Store will have a FREE Art Demonstration with Artist Jerry Baldwin on "Painting Landscapes and Light with Pastels" the "emphasis is on color relationship and balance of color and values."
"Pastel is becoming a very popular media to work with [and] any one who has a yen to paint would be interested in at least knowing how to use it." "It is a very flexible media and can be used with other media successfully." You can read a blog post on a Pastel demo Jerry did previously by clicking on the link.
In describing the demo, Jerry has written: "I will be demonstrating pastel painting from beginning to end. I will show how to develop a painting from sketches and or photos. My approach varies depending on the subject. I often use a watercolor wash: on the paper before I start. I use Wallis paper which is a sanded paper and can take a lot of abuse.I will discuss the use of various pastels and how to use the hardest to the softest brands. The four brands I use are Nupastel (very hard), Rembrandt Pastels (semi-soft), Sennelier Pastels (semi-soft), and Unison Pastels (very soft). These give me a range of color and softness."
If after the FREE demo you decide to try Pastel Painting yourself, a list of supplies Jerry suggests; "you buy a box of Rembrandt or Sennelier. A box of 48 or more will give you a good range of color. You can add to the box. Get a color chart of all four brands. It will help you choose new colors. If you are going to buy individual colors use the color wheel: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.. Two or three of each color plus white and black will give you a wide range."
