The legendary Maggie Price really delivers key concepts to her pastel painting technique in this wonderful demonstration of a river scene. I think the greatest takeaway an artist will receive here is to focus on values first, color temperature second, and then hue. This key concept really enables the student to explore and experiment with color and it's relative relationship in the painting as a whole. Shadows have greater depth and light and don't appear flat or beat down when using this technique. They have a deeper inner glow. I really feel compelled to revisit my pastel box and rethink how it is organized and how a reorganization might help strengthen my pastel paintings.
