Roger's Pictures

IAPS Convention

16-21 June 2026

We attended the last big convention of the International Association of Pastel Societies (IAPS), taking workshops, attending demonstrations, touring the exhibit, as well as attending a few social events. I think about half of the photos below were taken from the Dueling Demos session in which 4 pairs of artists with different styles and approaches showed how they tackled the same four reference photos, all while interacting with the roving viewers!
