But learn to work with them, and they'll do most of the work for you. You'll study exactly how to handle the paints to get the beautiful effects only watercolor can provide.

This is a technique that Ms. Harden developed after taking a workshop with Master Pastelist Margaret Dyer, in which she taught a similar approach while painting a figure in an environment. Laurie fine-tuned her technique to focus on portraiture. The point of this approach is to concentrate on the large shapes & values initially. The technique of layering colors of the same value sets up a vibrancy & sparkle to the pastels. Three quarters of the way through the process, the painting is turned rightside-up allowing the artist to re-establish a likeness of the subject and add the finishing details. It is surprising the results that can be achieved.A graduate of Rhode Island School of Design, Ms. Harden majored in Illustration. As an art instructor & freelance illustrator, some of her clients have included Ladies Home Journal, Redbook, N.Y. Daily News, N.Y. Times, McGraw-Hill, Harper and Collins, Grosset and Dunlap, Pearson Learning, Scholastic, Cricket Magazine Group, Dell Magazines & Simon and Schuster.Her work is known both nationally and internationally in the collections of the National Cancer Institute, Sloane Kettering Hospital, St. Barnabas Hospital, N.J.
