Born in Michigan, he attended Meinzinger Art School, Detroit, and earned degrees in painting from Michigan State University and Stanford University. He taught drawing and painting at Stanford and art history and oil painting at College of San Mateo (CA). In addition to painting landscapes in both pastels and oils, Wakeham maintains a weekly schedule of drawing and painting the figure.

On behalf of the Pastel Society of New Mexico, I welcome you to our 16th Annual National Pastel Painting Exhibition. This annual event has grown from a local show, with nearly all entries coming from our own membership, to one which receives entries from around the world. It is recognized across the pastel world as a premier exhibition. This year there were 385 entries, from which our distinguished Jurors – Alan Flattmann, Paula Lawson and Maggie Muchmore – chose the 141 paintings to be displayed. Duane Wakeham served not only as our Judge, but also conducted a three-day workshop in connection with the show.
PSNM would like to thank all the artists who participated in this year’s competition and congratulates those whose paintings were chosen. This was the first year all the entries were submitted digitally, and despite some small glitches in the submission and review process, it worked out very well.
Thanks also to our generous sponsors for their continuing support of the show and pastel painting. Last but not least, thanks to all the PSNM volunteers who contributed their time, energy and expertise to again produce this grand show. Volunteers and show attendees…you have my heartfelt thanks.
Bob Blagg, National Exhibition Committee Chairperson

The Pastel Society of New Mexico (PSNM) is a nonprofit arts organization formed in 1989 by a small group of artists seeking to promote the appreciation of the soft pastel medium as well as to contribute to the growing arts community in New Mexico. Although PSNM is based in New Mexico, our membership now includes artists from more than half
the states in the nation.
Membership is open to anyone interested in pastels. To become a member, go to our website: www.pastelsnm.org or send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to:
PSNM Membership, PO Box 3571, Albuquerque, NM 87190
Why is Pastel Special?A particle of pastel pigment seen under a microscope resembles a diamond
with many facets. Therefore, pastel paintings reflect light, like a prism. No other
medium has the same power of color or stability. Properly framed, pastel paintings
are one of the most permanent painting mediums.
The painting medium is created from the same pigments as those used in
watercolor and oil paints; only the binder is different. Gum tragacanth is used to
bind the pigments of pastels, while gum arabic binds the pigment for watercolors
and linseed oil is the binder for oil paints.
Soft pastels are available in three forms: the round or square sticks, created
with only enough binder to hold them together; the slimmer sticks, which are
harder and created with more binder; and the pastel pencils, which have the
most binder and are the hardest form of soft pastels.
Pastels may be applied to a multitude of supports, including various types
of papers and cloth. Popular choices are sanded paper, boards coated with marble
dust and rough finished rag paper, which is available in a wide variety of colors to
complement or contrast with the painted image. The surface may be underpainted
with acrylic, gouache, oil paint or watercolor. Each artist chooses his or her personal
technique or style for the specific requirements of an individual painting.
Generally, finished pastel paintings are not sprayed with fixative; rather they are
framed using a spacer or mat between the painting and the glass.
