He studied at the Colorado Institute of Art and the Art Students League of Denver. Intensive private study of the Impressionists and 19th century American and Russian painters have made him aware of the wonderful possibilities and importance of painting from life. Lorenzo participates in many prestigious national invitational group exhibitions, including the Plein Air Painters of America and the Laguna Plein Air Exhibition. For more information about Lorenzo visit his website at www.lorenzochavez.com.

The Unison line is very consistent and makes a great foundation set! The Special Collection colors are super pigmented to add punch to your palette and the Grey sets provide a very nice value selection.

The Arid Landscape features neutral greens, clear blue skies and basic landscape colors; the Plein Air (formerly Paris) is a general selection of on location colors; the Southwest focuses on the red rocks, big sky and brushy sage greens and the Southeast contains warm greens, bright floral and misty blues. The Maggie Price Value set is an exceptionally well thought out and presented set, particularly for artists new to pastel - a great foundation set!

Naturally occurring minerals from the Champagne region of France are added to the pure pigments to produce exceptional luminosity and to create the wonderful ranges from very dark to almost white tints. Artists will notice some variation in softness of the pastel sticks due to the chemical composition of the pure pigments. The extensive color range provides the broadest selection of dark hues (their most popular colors are the darkest blues and black greens) and tones. The bright reds and yellows are especially intense. Half-stick sets are a great value and an economical way to sample this line. The 80 Plein Air half-stick is our best seller and makes an exceptional field painting! The half sticks measure 1/2” x 1 -1/4” with no label.

The pastels are truly handmade and produced in very small batches, are very densely pigmented with great clarity and good covering power. Diane uses a very simple 3 step value for each color: Dark, Pure Color & Light. The Off-White and Pale colors (80D thru 90L) are a nice subtly tinted alternative to using traditional whites. The Midnight colors (50D thru 53L) are a great alternative to blacks. There are sets of all 120 Solid pure colors, 120 Light (L) and 120 Dark (D) variations of each color and 48 exotic colors set (10 fluorescent, 7 iridescent, 15 pearlescent and 16 metallic). NEW SETS: Hot = colors of fire and brimstone; Grey = mixed light and dark with cool and warm; Light = warm and cool off whites with barely perceptible shifts in tonality; Purple & Violet = intense colors with red to blue variations; Midnight = VERY dark, almost imperceptible shifts and Dark = a great rich undertone set with more perceptible color. *There are no L or D variations of Bone Black #1 and Titanium White #10. The Light and Dark 120 sets have the Solid form of both these colors repeated in the set.

The size, shape and consistency of the stick make them great for bold gesture strokes but also responsive to a light touch. The Terrages are made with a mixture of traditional pigments and pumice resulting in colors that are very clean, not grey and chalky. Terrages are very smooth in application; they don’t feel extra gritty and don’t get used up faster on coated papers. When working on a non-sanded surface the pumice ‘opens’ the surface of the paper aiding pigment bonding while also adding tooth for subsequent layering. Traditional pastels layer very well over the Terrages. Special Sets: The Wolf Kahn set has 12 vibrant colors with the new Wolf Kahn B set expanding the selection without duplication. The Portrait and Landscape sets A & B allow adding on to a set without duplicating colors.

Girault pastels work great for both covering large areas and for delicate detail work. The selection of greys and neutrals is outstanding. Girault is great for plein air work, the size and consistency of the stick allows you to pack a lot into a small space!

To make the pigment durable enough to form a lead, the pastel is by necessity a little harder than pastel sticks. Care is required in sharpening due to the combination of soft pastel lead and wood casing - make sure you have a fresh blade in your sharpener. All pastel pencils are somewhat water-soluble.

Evans Pastel Pencil DVD $32.95 Pastel Pencils Conte SHARPENERS The very delicate nature of the pastel lead in pastel pencils requires great care in sharpening. The ‘soft’ pastel lead and the ‘hard’ wood barrel must be sharpened at the same time. The hand held brass sharpener is consistently liked by our customers and with the replaceable blades can be kept sharp. The lead breakage is not always the sharpener – if a pencil is dropped, the lead can break inside the barrel! It is easier to get a point if the taper is less elongated. If the sharpener has an adjustable taper use the less elongated setting. In the case of the brass two-hole, use the bigger opening (even with the smaller barrel pencils) as it has a shorter taper. Dahle SHARPENERS – NEW SIZE! Both Dahle sharpeners have an automatic cutting stop, adjustable taper setting for sharp or blunt tip, a self-feeding mechanism, a table mounting clamp and both can accommodate all the pastel pencil sizes. The new 133 sharpener features a mechanism to hold the auto feeder in place while you insert the pencil – a nice feature. The Solingen Steel cutting head is virtually identical on the two machines, although the Dahle 133 cutter has a sturdier metal mount to hold the rotary blade. In tests here, we found the 133 to cut better!

Unlike soft pastels, oil pastels have a binder that holds them to the painting surface. They are responsive to a wide variety of techniques from direct drawing to painterly methods. Oil pastels can be blended by rubbing, use of colorless blenders, or by wash methods utilizing mineral spirits. Oil pastels have a vegetable, mineral or synthetic oil base (not linseed oil as used in oil paints) therefore do not require a primed surface. Dakota OIL PASTEL SAMPLERS Oil Pastels Dakota makes pastel samplers to give you an opportunity to experience the variations in hardness, blending ability and color in the major oil pastel lines.

Spray fixatives are best applied in multiple thin coats rather than one heavy coat to avoid pooling of fixative or over saturating the pastel surface. The dilemma to fix or not to fix is always a question of balance between affecting the color and protecting the fragile pastel. Color shift will be evident to some extent with any fixative applied to the surface of a soft pastel painting. Shift is most noticeable in very light colors. To ‘fix’ the multifaceted pastel particles, they are coated with fixative that sticks them to each other and the surface. The coating reflects light in a different manner, causing the appearance of the color shifting or darkening. LASCAUX Origin: Switzerland Volume: 300ml (10 fl oz) Can Size: 2-1/4”dia. x 6-1/2” Lascaux is a universal acrylic resin fixative suitable for many media, but particularly appropriate for soft pastel.

The Artist’s Air Filter System is designed to attach directly to your easel (however it can be used either vertically or horizontally on a table) - right where pastel dust and other airborne materials or solvents accumulate! The artwork sits on top of the collector box that has a grid rack allowing pastel dust to fall directly into the box. This system filters and cleans your studio air rather than just venting the air and pollutants outside. The system collects airborne dusts and vapors (from solvents) and sends them through an activated carbon filter and a HEPA filter, and returns clean air to the room. The filter system goes through four phases: 1) a pre-filter to stop large particles, 2) the carbon bed filter absorbs gases and odors, 3) two anti-microbial filters kill airborne microbes, 4) a HEPA filter traps airborne particles. The Artist Air is built to clean the air of a 1200 square foot space for about the same energy consumption as a standard light bulb. There are three fan settings with the highest setting generating noise equivalent to a typical house fan. The Artist Air will cleanse your studio environment of unwanted dusts, solvents and other pollutants. Standard Artist’s Air includes: Collection Unit - collection box (30” wide x 4” deep x 10” high, stainless steel with a durable powder coated flat black finish), lift bar, top screen, pre-filter, easel strap and 10 ft. flexible hose (6” wire reinforced vinyl). Filter Unit - steel with powder coated flat black finish, filter canister, pre-filter, activated carbon filter, biocide filters and true HEPA filter. Dust-Only Artist’s Air: includes all of the above except for the carbon filter with attached biocide filters and lift bar. Warranty and Returns: Artist’s Air units are shipped directly from the manufacturer in Maine. Artist Air has a one-year warranty on all working parts. Artist Air can be returned for any reason within 15 days of delivery, customer is responsible for return shipping costs.

Order toll free 1-888-345-0067 23 PREMIUM PASTEL PAPERS Soft pastels are unique as a color medium in that they do not have a ‘binder’ to hold them to a surface. Premium Pastel papers with coated surfaces are specifically designed to help hold pastel. The coarser or denser the texture is of the surface, the greater the ability to hold multiple layers of pastel. This year we have added paper dimensions and weights (gsm is grams per square meter - a weight measurement for comparing relative thickness of paper). Dakota PASTEL PAPER SAMPLER Dakota makes a sample packet (approximately 9” x 12” pieces) of our coated pastel papers. The packet contains one sheet each of the following papers: Colourfix, SuperTooth, La Carte, Richeson, Sansfix, Sabretooth, Townsend, Uart, Velour, Wallis Professional, Wallis Belgian Grey and Wallis Museum. PAPERSAMP Pastel Paper Sampler $29.95 Dakota Dakota PASTEL BOARD SAMPLER Dakota makes a sample packet (approximately 9 “x 12” pieces) of our coated pastel boards.

The surface is a finely ground pH neutral vegetable flake and cork that is applied by hand. The sumptuous surface is very uniform and wonderfully abrasive, promoting excellent pigment adhesion without requiring a lot of pastel for coverage. La Carte has a soft ‘touch’ when compared to other sanded pastel papers, but still holds many layers of pastel. The supple surface has a varied intonation that shows off the rich colors and provides a receptive visual background to the artists’ eye. *The binder used to produce the surface will dissolve in water, so care must be taken to keep it dry.

Dilute Golden Fine Pumice Gel with water (up to 20%) making the pumice gel more fluid and to get the pumice particles to float to the surface and provide texture when applied. Add some powdered pumice to the mix when the gel is diluted, it should be the consistency of thick house paint. Fluid acrylic paint can be added to the mixture to add color. Brush or roll on to the panel. Susan’s favorite technique is to squirt fluid acrylic on the gesso surface and move it around with a brush until the surface is covered. When this is dry she brushes on the Gel Mixture that will dry semi-transparent. Another coat can be added to increase the texture. 32 Order on line www.dakotapastels.com LiquidSpectrum NEW! FROM ART SPECTRUM Origin: Australia Colors: 20 Volume: 50ml (1-3/4 fl oz) Liquid Spectrum is super-concentrated acrylic ink with extremely heavy pigmentation, compatible with and great for tinting the Art Spectrum primer. An ink rather than paint, it is well suited for use on sanded pastel papers: covers exceptionally well, dries quick, waterproof when dry and does not fill in the sanded surface! All colors are non-toxic, intermixable and fully lightfast. Liquid Spectrum inks are very thin and can be applied with brush, roller, airbrush or pen. Bottles have a non-spill stopper for easy dispensing and measuring for mixing the ink. An extender is available to make a mixture more transparent without weakening the ink film. The cleaner is used to remove dried ink from tools and also works to remove ink from the artwork, even after the color has dried - like having an eraser for paint!

Order toll free 1-888-345-0067 35 Anderson SWIVEL EASEL The most unique feature of the Anderson Swivel Easel is the canvas mast that revolves 360 degrees (allowing you to stand to the side of the easel) and tilts 180 degrees (paint from flat to tilting forward)! The mast adjusts from a 9” minimum to a 16” maximum height with no limit in horizontal direction. A unique photo holder has been added to the top of the mast. An important feature for pastel artists is that the legs are directly under the easel box, providing a stable platform for a loaded pastel box. A shoulder strap and nylon rock bag are included.

LIGHTWEIGHT AND COMPACT: The Soltek easel is compact and durable, constructed of space-age aluminum alloy and polymers. QUICK SETUP: You can set up the easel and be painting in less than a minute. The legs extend and lock in place automatically - no tightening wing nuts! The legs retract easily by sliding and holding an auto-lock button. VERSATILE: A very informative brochure sent with the easel shows it being used in 15 different setup positions from standing, to sitting, to lying down! A wide leg stance provides excellent stability in windy conditions or on uneven terrain. The Soltek easel can accommodate a painting surface up to 30” high. PAINTING HEIGHT: The only difference between the two easels is the painting height when the legs are fully extended. The Soltek Pro palette is at 42” and the Soltek is at 38”.

COMPACT PLEIN AIR SIZE The Dakota Universal Travel boxes are the ultimate containers for pastel artists on the go! The ‘Made in USA’ quality construction and highly functional design provide a great way to get your pastels into the field and keep them organized for easy use. The boxes are a brief case design with pastels stored on both sides providing a tremendous carrying capacity. Pastels are held in place by foamcushioned panels that are secured with Velcro for easy fastening and removal. Each box is constructed of maple and maple ply and has a folding suitcase handle. Both sides of the box have wood interior divisions to help separate pastels. Each of these divided sections has two flat pieces and one die-cut (slotted) piece of foam that are removable. If you choose not to use the die-cut foam, the panels still hold the pastels in place when closed and the pastel carrying capacity of the box is greatly expanded. The new Compact size fits inside a backpack or suitcase for travel. It’s greatest advantage is being half the width, making it much easier to reach across the pastel box while working on your painting!
