Brenda Boylan, "Creating Glowing Luminosity in Pastel" www.brendaboylan.com
Creating light with something that is not plugged in? Why YES! Let Brenda show you how she acquires a luminous glow to her pastel paintings with the use of a colorful-filled under painting and sequential layering of hues and values.

Brenda is a graduate of California Polytechnic University who began her creative career as a designer for high profile sportswear clients. Ten years later she made the leap to fine art and never looked back.

Inspired by the Impressionists, her color-filled pastels and oil paintings have gained national Signature recognition with the Pastel Society of America, Laguna Plein Air Painters Association, and the Northwest Pastel Society. Brenda’s work has been published in The Pastel Journal (cover story), Plein Air Magazine, The Art of Plein Air Painting, and The Best of America Pastel, and has her own signature line of Jack Richeson Pastels.
