Delamore Art - Every Day in May - 1030 - 1630
The Artist - Carol Deathridge
On leaving school I trained as a draughtswoman and have painted throughout my life in my spare time, mainly with oils and acrylics. My artistic life changed10 years ago when I discovered soft pastels at a workshop in France. After seeing what they were capable of I couldn't wait to try them out. I did and it wasn't long before I became addicted! Currently my work is mainly Landscape as Dartmoor and Start Bay(where I live) continually inspire and challenge the artist in me, however, I also enjoy painting Still Life in which the pastels are used to create widely diverse surfaces.
