And amazing how beautifull the details shown from Degas’ pastel techniques are. I have always admired him and this lecture showed his wonderfull ways of working with color, line and light in ways that leave you in awe. Its so beautifull and I could look at it for hours 🙏💗
It would be interesting to let the forensics of pastels, watercolor, gouache, graphite, ink and other media define themselves upon a ground of watercolor or other base. Maybe subject matter would evolve/grow through the mix of these various media or grounds as guidelines are struck and followed or ignored.
It's a learned skill. Just get the material and do it. Experiment, make mistakes, with time you'll fall into a particular style that personifies you. Just remember, people have made millions of dollars by simply spattering mud on plywood and cardboard. It's all a deeply individual and personal process. oh and everything can be scraped off with a pallet knife and a bit of mineral spirit.
You can learn. Being very good is 95% dedication and 5% talent. Being naturally talented does help a lot, of course. But trust me, even the greatest master - a Monet or a Dali or a Caravaggio - has spent thousands hours drawing and painting during the “learning phase”. What makes a good artist is dedication, obsession to learning, passion.
So interesting to watch all these details of pastel materials and techniques - the only thing that would have made it even more wonderfull to watch is to just show the powerpoint images without having the speaker in the corner ( just to make the image of the pastel as large as possible in an IPAD - 😊💗🌷
Could white canvas be primed with a gesso that contains fine grit particles as a preparation for pastel work? Or, to have a mid-toned ground, could a clear gritty gesso be applied to a colored canvas? Could finest grit sandpaper be used as a support? I know you mention that Degas used a form of fixative. Was fixative in widespread use in the 19th century or are works generally protected only by glass?
It is astonishing how benighted this lecture is. It starts off with cliches. Do you not think that 19th-century academic artists understood loose painting styles? Had they not looked at late Titian? Was Turner not regular discourse? How much more do we need to suffer these kinds of talks? The only thing new about impressionism was our ability to stomach poor technique.

It is a great pity that men are not presenting in these series from MFA, after all, I miss their deep knowledge and literary talents which are so important when discussing Art. With all respect for female experts, I really believe, that a great loss is being observed when you suddenly see just female "experts" in a domain which has been dominated by men!
Fantastic!! What a great exploration this is! Thank you!
I really love these lectures so much. This was amazing. Hope to keep seeing more and more.
Thanks so much for posting these! I love listening to them while painting! :)

Very interesting, detailed info ❤
I wish I had any talent for drawing - I'd love to use pastels even a tiny fraction this well.

Okay patriarchy
Good points.
In that spirit, let's just ignore the work of that Cassatt woman !
What's she doing here???
If you are going to lecture on French art, you should learn how to pronounce French proper names.
British art historians used to be the same. Colonialist "our way or the highway" attitudes.
@@casteretpollux I suppose that every French scholar pronounces every English word perfectly ... is that what you are suggesting?
why so tight? yoga will help
You should teach because you are the professional doctorate degree of the first order of the whole wide universe, you go!!! 😬😬😬
really?????? this is a gratis lecture...and you post this... how rude
Thanks so much for posting these! I love listening to them while painting! :)
