| I encourage you to try some of these exercises, just to see how you can find and use underlying shapes in your composition. Once you begin to think in terms of massing of values and the shapes they make, you can then begin to change things more significantly than I have in this example to enhance shapes even more.
So start thinking in shapes. Blur a photo, draw some thumbnails, make a value map and see how it helps you analyze composition. |

Deborah Christensen Secor is an artist, writer and contributing editor to The Pastel Journal. |
| Pastels have become one of the defining facets of my life. I paint, teach and write about the medium. My BA in fine art launched my art career, and I spent several years in the late 80s working with PSA Master Pastelist Albert Handell, which I consider my 'advanced degree'. I founded The Pastel Society of New Mexico, and have been affiliated with The Pastel Journal since its inception. In 2006 two books devoted to pastels feature my work. Pure Color: The Best of Pastel, features a night painting, and a book authored by my friend Maggie Price contains several of my pastel paintings, some of which are step-by-step illustrations of the process. I'm blessed to be a wife, mom, child of God, and an artist. | |
