Painting: Janis Ellison

We were delighted to discover Oregon based artist Janis Ellison’s paintings with PanPastel Colors. She has only recently started using PanPastel. Here are some examples of her paintings with PanPastel on UArt paper.

Janis says: “I have been painting in pastel for over 20 years and only recently was introduced to PanPastel Colors. I have found them so versatile, these three paintings were started with PanPastel as the underpainting then finished with soft pastel stick details”

Artist Q&A: Benjamin Ward

My grandfather was a painter, illustrator, and professor. I grew up sitting on his lap watching him draw. It fascinated me. I had an amazing (and patient, ha) art teacher in high school that nurtured my abilities and helped me create a portfolio that was awarded several scholarships to major art schools.
