In this weekly series Kelly Kane, Editor-in-Chief of Plein Air Magazine, shares a favorite painting and artist quote from a recent issue.
Kelly Kane’s Pick of the Week: Memorial Day
“Known for their luminosity and color, pastels can be used wet or dry, as a drawing or a painting medium. Working in pastel is like painting with light. Artists are attracted to it because it offers so many options for personal expression. From today’s pastelists, you can see a huge range of techniques and styles, but the use of pure pigment — charcoal, ground minerals, and earth pigments — dates back to some of the oldest artwork in the world — the drawings in the caves of Lascaux.”
— Liz Haywood-Sullivan (“Why Pastel Is Perfect for Plein Air,” Aug-Sept 2020)
