Last Friday more than 30 members and visitors of the Halifax Art Society enjoyed an outstanding demonstration by Catherine Inglis on the subject of ‘Animals in soft pastel’.
Catherine had obtained a detailed photo of a bird of prey and worked on sandpaper. She put dark colours in first, pushed the pastels of the background in with her hand and rested the little finger on the paper when drawing details to steady her hand. Catherine constantly explained each step of her work and an unbelievable image emerged in front of the amazed audience.
