Below are five tips that will elevate your artwork to new heights.
1. Loose Beginnings: Embrace the freedom of loose beginnings. I often like to create a loose and dreamy underpainting. In this lesson, I use Neocolor II Wax Pastels to set the mood.
2. Exaggerate Color: Dive headfirst into a realm of vibrant hues and embrace the exhilarating power of color. Don't be afraid to intensify and exaggerate the shades in your composition, for it is through this vivacity that you can evoke emotions and create visual impact.
3. Less is More: Discover the magic that lies in the art of restraint. Resist the urge to overcrowd your piece with unnecessary details. Instead, allow negative space to breathe, allowing the viewer's imagination to wander as they find their own connection with your artwork.
4. Work the Whole: Unleash your artistic prowess by treating your artwork as a cohesive symphony. Avoid focusing solely on individual elements; instead, harmonize the various components, ensuring that each stroke contributes to the overall narrative and beauty of the piece.
5. Color Harmony: Like a maestro conducting a symphony, guide your audience's gaze through a symphony of colors that harmoniously dance together. Seek balance and unity, exploring the relationships between hues, and infuse your artwork with a captivating sense of harmony.

Remember, dear artists, that these tips serve as a guiding light rather than a rigid roadmap. Embrace your own unique style and allow your creativity to flourish. Soft pastels grant you the ability to weave a tapestry of impressions, transporting both yourself and your viewers to a world where the strokes of color sing and come alive. So, with passion in your heart and pastels in hand, let the artistic adventure begin!
