About the Artist - Kate Thayer Fine Art
http://www.katethayer.com/about_katethayer.htm
He is the true enchanter. Whose spell operates, not. Upon the senses, but upon. The imagination and the heart.

Dry pastels are used from hard to velvety soft, each making their own marks and quality of color. The underpainting appears as drips and glazes of transparent colors against the opaque pastels on the top layers. The underpainting interplays with the pastel and is visible in the final painting to add layers of depth and mystery to the scene. Site designed by Jennifer Corn.

Why Pastels? - Kate Thayer Fine Art
http://www.katethayer.com/why_pastels.htm
Out of all of the media available to me as an artist, I chose pastels. There are many reasons, but here are the two main reasons:. I love the feel of the pastels on sanded paper. It is sensuous and keeps me attentive to what I am trying to accomplish. There are a myriad of colors, from subtle to brilliant, waiting to be chosen. They were used by Copley and Delacroix, by Manet and Renoir and Toulouse- Lautrec, by Bonnard and Whistler and Hassam. All great artists depicting their world in pastel.
