Pastels are an artist material with a long history. Sometimes referred to as “dry painting,” the medium offers an incredible range of color with the ability to blend colors in the same way that you would paint pigment. Edgar Degas famously used them to depict his dancers, and Gauguin, Monet, Renoir, and Cassatt followed suit. Today, they remain some of the most popular examples of artists that used pastels.
Allure Art Center is bringing some of the premier pastel artists from across the Mid-Atlantic to exhibit their works in a month long gallery exhibit “The Art of Pastel” featuring artists in the Mid-Atlantic Pastel Society.
Come see this beautiful art form up close starting June 5th and continues through July 5th.
