Jacob Aguiar demo

In celebration of the Pastel Society of America’s 50th Exhibition Enduring Brilliance!, we are offering demonstrations of pastel technique by world renowned masters. For our next demonstration, I would like to introduce Jacob Aguiar PSA.

Jacob Aguiar is a nationally recognized pastel artist living in Boxford, MA with his wife Laura, son Henry, and daughter Lucy. He splits his time between painting inspiring local landscapes and practicing naturopathic medicine. He has won several pastel awards including awards in the 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 Pastel 100 competitions, and Best of Show at the 2016 Pastel Society of New Hampshire annual exhibition. He has exhibited in galleries throughout the US, including Jackson Hole, Wyoming and exhibited at the Brinton Museum in Big Horn, Wyoming. A signature member of the Pastel Society of America, he teaches online through Patreon, as well as workshops throughout the country.

In this demonstration, Jacob will take you through his process of painting dramatic light in the landscape with pastels. Utilizing a novel underpainting technique, Jacob will show techniques and effects to enhance drama in the landscape.
