Peggy Marlatt has been coming to the Escalante Canyons Art Festival for the past 10 years and would love to share with you her approach using pastels. She especially loves the arches and walls of the canyons and will share with you a demonstration painting of one of her favorite subjects.

Feel free to sketch along or ask questions. She will have a few samples of papers and pastels that you can try the mystery of pastel.
