I was fortunate enough to go to a pastel demonstration by Liz Haywood-Sullivan last night. This free event was sponsored by the Rochester Art Club and was a great opportunity to see how Liz creates her beautiful pastel paintings from start to finish. She generously shared her painting technique with us, explaining every aspect the process as she went. Despite stopping to explain what she was (Photo credit: Suzi Zefting Kuhn) doing and why, as she continued to paint, Liz was still able to finish her painting in just about 2 hours. The finished product was stunning and it was very for exciting to see the image emerging as she completed each step. It was a wonderful experience.
I want to thank Rochester Art Club for opening this to the public and to Suzi Zefting-Kuhn for posting the notice about it on Facebook which is where I read about it. By the way, Liz has written a book about pastel painting which will published by NorthLight in the very near future. Look for it!
