The great american pastel artist Margaret Dyer is coming to France!
She will be conducting a workshop about figurative painting. It will take place in May/June 2010 just 60 miles southeast of Paris.
So, if you don’t want to go all the way to the USA in order to learn from a great Master Pastelist this is your chance.

With pastel painting l have found the ideal medium to artistically and creatively transform these special conditions of illumination. I love to spread pigment on paper without anything else in between.
Pastel paintings come alive when you put different layers of colour on the canvas. This is a great artistic stimulus for me. Which combination of colour pigments can be used to achieve precisely the effect of light and shade that I want? During the artistic process, layers of colour are continually built up and removed until the light situation has been captured and the picture can unfold its unique illuminating power.
