In this fun technique takeaway we will look at mixed media techniques combining soft pastel with traditional gouache and acrylic gouache to interpret two different flower subjects. The two demonstrations will show the process Richard uses to create a wet in wet semi abstract foundation on which the soft pastel is applied to bring the painting to conclusion. This technique takeaway is suitable for both pastel and mixed media artists of all levels and is something of a taster for Richards upcoming two week class in September.
