Robert Dutton gave a chalk pastel demonstration to Farsley Art Club. He used Canson Mi-Teintes pastel paper, charcoal and various soft and hard chalk pastels.
He worked from a photograph of a mill town in a valley. He started by establishing the positions of the elements in the scene using charcoal in loose strokes. He smudged the charcoal in the sky and town area.
Robert added colour with browns and greens, again in a loose manner.
He added details into the buildings with a hard eraser.
He added further colours.
Part completed painting at the end of the demonstration.
