to the
PASTEL SOCIETY of IRELAND
The Pastel Society of Ireland was formed in 1988 by a group of dedicated pastel painting artists who felt that there was a need to provide a forum where pastelists could meet to discuss and promote the highly individual art of pastel painting. The Society aims to encourage and promote the art and practice of pastel painting throughout Ireland by bringing together pastel artists with a wide range of abilities, so that their crafts, skills and artistic abilities may be enjoyed and shared.
On Friday 13th September the pastel society of Ireland hosted an evening with Robert Dutton in the F.E.McWilliams Gallery in Banbridge. Robert is a leeds based artist having settled in Yorkshire 22 years ago. Although he travels extensively it is the Pennine Moors and Dales landscapes which are his main creative inspiration.
Robert talked about his approach to painting while demonstrating from a photograph of the Anglesey coastline.
Robert often uses watercolout and ink underpainting for his Pastel paintings. The two paintings above are examples of his work.The Saturday workshop gave participants an oppurtunity to try out these techniques. Below are some of the results of the days work.
