A special section on painting waves and water in the August 2010 issue of The Pastel Journal includes pastel paintings and expert tips from five artists: Phil Bates of Myrtle Creek, Ore.; Anthony Davis of Lindenhurst, N.Y.; Kathleen Newman of Chicago, Ill.; Dave Beckett of Orillia, Ontario; and Claude Carvin of LaTourette, France. It may seem counter-intuitive to use pastel—a dry pigment—to paint rivers, waves and waterfalls, but—as this online gallery of their work demonstrates—these five artists prove the medium and the subject are perfectly compatible.
