Pastels are my passion with which I indulge my love for colour. They offer the greatest versatility and immediacy in my painting practice.
When I am not working on a collection of landscapes then I am using my garden as inspiration. I love to paint and observe the world around me on a daily basis to build up greater understanding of it. I do not put a label on my style. It is constantly developing as I broaden my painting knowledge and experience.
I run workshops in pastel techniques, landscapes and still life.
The first difficulty in depicting a rainbow in pastel is not the rainbow itself but rather the treatment of the pastel dust in the underlying layers so that the beauty of the rainbow’s colours sit resplendent on top.
How we use and hold our pastels will determine what amazing marks we will make. Eventually, with practice and discovery through play, this will create our style.
Master Still Life with Cathy Pearce in this huge course over on Pastel Academy. Enjoy a free taster of the brilliant tuition from Cathy.
Are you a pastel artist? Do you use Unison Colour pastels? Would you like to be part of our Associate Artist family?
Who would believe what possibilities and potential lie inside these neatly wrapped lozenges of colour? They are essentially chunks of pure dry pigment, more intense in colour than any tube of paint.
In May we held a recruitment exercise for new Associate Artists and we were overwhelmed with the number of applications. So much so we will have 2 groups of new artists. Our 2nd group will be announced in August 2020.
With a grin I sometimes introduce myself as the mad lady who paints the hill. Roundway Hill near Devizes in Wiltshire and the surrounding fields are my subject as I love to observe them every day.
