Pastel painting demo

Posted

MILFORD, PA — Pike County Arts and Crafts will hold its first Sunday Artist Demo with painter Clayton Buchanan on Sunday, November 1 at 1:30 p.m. in the Foundation Room at the Columns Museum.

Buchanan has been painting in pastels for over 40 years. His major area of interest is capturing the human figure in real life settings. He studied Impressionist color theory with Henry Hensche at The Cape School of Art in Provincetown, RI, and Portrait/Figure Painting with William Draper at the Art Students League.

Many of Buchanan’s pastel paintings are done from reference photos that he has taken from real life settings. He starts a painting by loosely applying broad areas of color, contrasting light planes with shadow planes. He developed his understanding of color and structure by working from life. For this demonstration he will be doing a head study, working from a live model, and will explain his process as he works toward completion.

Refreshments will be served and the event is free to the public.
