Chris Sabian's Pastel Top Tips


·                     Paint lights over darks, soft pastel over hard.
·                     Overlapping creates depth.
·                     Work from the top.
·                     Maintain tonal range.
·                     Buy the best quality pencils you can afford.
·                     Use a very sharp trimming knife to keep pencils sharp.
·                     Be considerate of the framer and do not give him flimsy pieces of paper, but rather find stiffer boards to paint on.
·                     Plan, Plan, Plan.
