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.

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!

    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.

    The Stolen Years Series

    From an Australian bestselling author comes mystery thriller of determination to find one's place in a world that men are threatening to tear apart.

    Historical Mystery

    Historical mystery genres are often crossed with other genres. Ryn Shell has always combined two or more genres or sub-genre  in the telling of the complex stories in her books.  Her characters come to life in her head while she writes them and demand more.
