Tara has been a dear friend of mine for the 6 years I’ve been an artist. She is unquestionably such an incredible talent not only as a pastel artist but also as an oil painter and printmaker.
But more importantly Tara is an honest giving person who wants to share her wealth of knowledge collected along her colourful journey. I have seen first hand how speedily she works en plein air and from photo references indoors when she came to stay with me in the UK a few years ago.
Although astounding the speed with which Tara paints isn’t built from a frantic need to get the job done it is in fact such a beautiful calm process of seeing what’s essential for her to choose what to leave in and which colours to select to fulfil that thought process in a measured way.
We are at opposite ends of the spectrum regarding our art process and style but I have full appreciation for Tara and all that she does.
As she freely says ‘You do you’

Yes I’m a huge girl fan – love you Tara x

Thanks John! When I was introduced to the Scottish Colourists a few years ago I was blown away and couldn’t understand why they aren’t more widely known. Thank you for naming them here. I can’t wait to visit that museum in Glasgow. I’ll put it on my list for my 2023 visit to the UK!!

Karen, that’s so fantastic to hear! Having guests on the HowToPastel blog is to inspire and educate and get us out of our ruts so I’m glad to hear Tara’s has done just that!
