Biography
I have been working with pastels since I have studied art in the late 60’s. My final work for graduation from Art School was to compose 6 paintings. We were to use all our skills over the past 4 years of study, which encompassed drawing, composition medium, color, etc. and pick several Masters so I choose Mary Cassette, and Edgar Degas, using there techniques, and philosophies. Working and studying the masters, help me obtain my skills over the years.

Pastel is a immediate medium which I can accomplish and use my drawing skills. I love the tactile feeling of holding a pastel, it makes me feel closer to the earth especially when drawing landscapes. Brush work can become very tedious when painting in oils and acrylics and you can loose translation of the human line which gives life to paintings. I am far from a realist, and love do impressionistic art work. I think the play of light is most rewarding when it is done in pastels.
Website JanetVisser.com I have been in multi exhibitions Teaching is my favorite outlet.
