This class runs with combined experience levels. The first two weeks of the course are attended by beginning level students only, to learn how to create a sketch and apply the pastels. Weeks 3 – 8 will be available to all students, beginning and experienced skill levels.
This class will introduce students to basic techniques of using soft pastels as they work alongside the instructor to create landscapes, still lifes, animals and flowers. Learn to layer colors to create luminous, painterly effects. Beginners are guided as they work on the image provided each week; more experienced students may choose to work on an image of their choice. No prior experience is required. Please see the supply list to learn what materials are needed for this class.
