YSA Monthly Meeting and Demo with Deborah Pepin

09/17/2022
10:00 am - 12:00 pm


Join us Saturday, September 17th at 10am via Zoom for our monthly YSA meeting and Art Demo with Deborah Pepin

How to Have a Successful Finished Painting

Deborah will be showing the work I do before going onto the pastel painting. This will focus on the notan, the 4-5 value study, and the underpainting. We will discuss the processes and the edits along the way, and some of the products that I use.  What works and what doesn’t work. I will be working on a specific piece(from a photo I took up in Whishon), from how I start to how I finish the underpainting and if we have time the start laying in the pastels.

Artist Statement 

For me, creating something beautiful is a way of life.  When I am creating, I can block out all distractions, and just live in the moment; that moment when I am putting paint to canvas, making marks that tell a story, creating a narrative that speaks of places I have been, or things I have experienced.  I often plein air paint of places that tell ME that story, so that I might share that story with you the viewer.  Whether its oils or pastels let me take you on that journey and create something beautiful just for you.

Her artwork, including paintings, drawings, collages, and life–sized painted sculptures, have been exhibited, and can be found in collections, on both west and east coasts of the United States, and a few places in between, too.
Karen is mostly known for her brilliantly colored landscape paintings of rural California.
Originally a painter and drawer of people, she began painting endangered landscapes – places threatened by development – as she worked with others to save a threatened wetlands area in Monterey County. Enchanted by the land, its colors, and its spirit, she continues painting colorist landscapes of rural California.
Karen also draws and paints abstract and mixed media acrylic paintings, and creates block prints, using methods that she enjoys sharing with others in her classes and workshops.
