Working with Soft Pastels

Some safety precautions can be kept in mind while working with pastels.

*Your studio should be well ventilated to eliminate dust.

*Use a mask to avoid breathing any ambient dust.

*When drawing, create a static area to attract pigment particles away from you.

*Always remember to vacuum your space regularly with a vacuum that has a HEPA filter and bag.

*To protect hands and skin, use a barrier cream, Dermex, or wear latex gloves.

*Also a stump or chamois cloth can be used to rub in the pastels to avoid direct contact with the pigment.

*My latest effort is, however, to use a pastel that creates less dust.

Open Mystery

Ruth Randall's novel "A Judgement in Stone," opens with this line.
"Eunice Parchman killed the Coverdale family because she could not read or write."
In open mystery novel, the reader knows who the murderer is, from the beginning; the mystery is why, and how, they did it, and if they will be caught.
In The Stolen Years series of novels, the reader has a view of who commits many of the crimes. There is plenty of suspense while no one else suspects who the murderer is.

Rural Noir

Noir or hardboiled, often detective fiction is a genre of crime novels featuring detectives or private detectives who see the dark, edgy side of life.

Hi Ryn,
your video was very interesting to watch. Painting is so different and intriguing to me because of how you can layer up things. For example adding a light over a dark is not something I can do when drawing or burning.
Then there is the whole color aspect of the art. I've always been rather intimidated by color and even though I own a color wheel, I never understood it. I'm happy to admit that I'm understanding color and the wheel a lot better thanks to you.
You are a great teacher with treasure trove of information!
