Are you ready to take your pastel paintings from dull to DAZZLING? I'm thrilled to share with you my easy technique that will elevate your pastel paintings to new heights of brilliance and luminosity.

Since soft pastels are an opaque medium it's hard to get the luminosity as you can with translucent mediums like watercolor. But not to fear if you are dreaming of creating color that glows in your pastel paintings. I have discovered a simple technique that will produce pastel works that shine with vibrant color.

What's the Trick?
By combining the translucency of acrylic ink and soft pastels on a white surface, you can create paintings that not only capture the eye but also the heart and soul of your viewers.

What You'll Discover:

The Magic of White Surfaces: Learn why starting with a white surface can dramatically enhance the vibrancy and depth of your pastel paintings.
The Power of Acrylic Ink: Dive into the world of acrylic ink, a translucent medium that, when used ingeniously, creates a luminous underpainting that shines through your pastels, adding a layer of richness and complexity that is truly mesmerizing.
StepbyStep Tutorial: Follow along as I demonstrate my unique process, from preparing the white surface to applying acrylic ink, and finally layering pastels to achieve effects that seem to glow from within.
Tips & Techniques: Gain insider knowledge on selecting the right materials, mixing colors, and applying them to create stunning, lightfilled compositions.
