Pastel on Terracotta Colourfix Sanded Paper
12 x 9 inches
There were five students, all painting different subjects. It was interesting to see orange used in under paintings, as highlights and as the main subject. We had a good time and Enid explained the advantages of using orange in paintings and some of its properties.
- True green in nature has orange it it.
- Orange is often found as a highlight on red items.
- In turn, red is found in the shadows on orange items.
- Of course orange looks brighter next to its complement blue. (Complementary colors are opposite each other on the color wheel.)
Enid has monthly classes. She gave each of us individual attention. You can join up by checking with the Bastrop Fine Arts Guild.

It is always good for me to paint with other artists. I get energized and inspired. Now I have to paint more peppers before they wither away.

Looks and sounds like it was a fun class and productive.
My little art girls worked in pastels on Tuesday. The dust was flying.
Thanks, Bag Blog. Enid is so inspiring. I talk more than I paint, as you know, but it was fun and made me paint. I hope my other pepper paintings are more satisfactory to me. Ha. Try some orange in your greens. Enid says that is a key to natural greens.
lovely fun, love the pastel peppers, love pastels, so vibrant and pure, top painting, bravo... :-D
Hi Kat! Thank you so much. Appreciate the visit.
I like the painting...especially the turquoise background. It goes great with the orange. :-)
Joanna, thank you. It was a fun exercise. Another class January 14, purple. More my color. Ha.
