LAG studies with Alain Picard video
 |
| Jeanie Schlump and Joanne Ramsey attended the video workshop by Alain Picard. He demonstrated how to set up a display, light the still life, look for a strong composition, and work using color masses both within and outside the objects. This is the drawing created by Jeanie Schlump from the workshop. Next month we will have a video on portraits. |

LAG Sponsors Mike Beeman pastel workshop
Mike Beeman demonstrated his method of developing the still life
by working with the mass of items rather than outlines
to develop the objects.
Objects are rendered both internally with value and color steps as well
as externally to carve the shapes from the outside in
and to allow the figures and ground to merge together.
People in attendance came as far as Louisville, Colorado,
Harmony, Cheyenne, Rock River & Laramie, WY.
Mike's skill as both an artist and teacher were greatly
appreciated by all. Thank you, Mike!

Laramie Art Guild: Mike Beeman Pastel Presentation
Mike Beeman is fast becoming one of the better known pastel artists in America. He is a gracious man who generously shares his knowledge of the medium during his demonstrations and workshops. Mike will be giving a workshop hosted by the Laramie Art Guild in Laramie, Wyoming on 2/21/2015. Interested parties may call 307-399-5763 for details.
Mike Beeman Pastel Presentation
 |
| Mike Beeman demonstrates the painting of a chickadee on UArt using alcohol as a medium for rendering the under-painting. |
 |
| The background & mass of the chickadee are loosely rendered. Outlines are virtually non-existent allowing corrections of shape and color to be established both within and outside the figure. |
 |
| Specific details of the beak and eye are accentuated and a greater value range established. |
 |
| Mike paints with the pastel medium as he demonstrates the rendering of a chickadee and a common sparrow. |
 |
| Please note the transfer of colors both within & outside the figure. Middle values were established first and lighter and darker values added afterwards. The sharing of these hues prevents the bird from feeling like a "cut-out" pasted onto the background. |
 |
| The mere suggestion of feathers and legs allows for a more expressive rendering. Pure whites are avoided and either warm or cool whites are selected. This image was worked on a felt grey Canson paper, which allows the artists to render in both lighter and darker values as he developed the form. |

Textured Tanker
 |
| The layering of textures upon the surface of this tanker car piqued my interest; fuel oil over letters, letters over rust, rust peeling away to expose the underlying structure, shadows casting over the entirety. Pastel on sandpaper, 22"x28" Artist: Jeanie Schlump |

Quang Ho
 |
| Jeanie Schlump attended a pastel demo in Denver by Quang Ho. The pastel was developed very loosely over a period of 2 hours as Quang Ho explained his process. Black & white photo above as seen on computer screen was used by Quang Ho for his demonstration. |
 |
| Using the broad side of pastel sticks, Quang Ho developed large passages of dark and light values on a medium ground. |
 |
| Colors were assessed randomly but still keeping the values consistent with the picture. At this stage, the brown page is the complementary color which is showing through the various greens.  Quang started with a box of Terry Ludwig landscape greens, then added complementary reds, still relying on the value shapes as his reference. |
