STROKE UP ON THE BASICS OF GOOD PAINTING IN PASTEL with Instructor Gary BaughmanWHEN:
3 HALF-DAYS
Wednesday to Friday (1 to 4pm)
September 17, 18, 19, 2025
WHERE:
Art League Academy
106 Cordillo Parkway, Hilton Head Island, SC
PRICE:
$180; $162 for ALHH Members
The classes will focus on painting Southern landscapes using references of the students' choice or those of the instructor.
Discussion and demos will provide students with knowledge that can be used to improve their choice of subject and application of composition principles. Accuracy in shape-making and displaying depth through perspective and value will be stressed. Color mixing, brush and palette knife application of the medium, and edge treatments will be demonstrated by the instructor.
Expecting to paint a masterpiece in class should not be a student objective. Learning the techniques and principles that will lead to prize-winning paintings, being awarded commissions, and obtaining gallery representation should be the take-away from class.
Since this course is being offered to oil painters in the morning each day, the pastel instruction will include the objectives as in oil above but will be focused on the application of the pastel to the sanded surface support use for pastel painting. Emphasis will be on underpainting, stroke making, optical color mixing, value-produced edges, and layering of strokes. Preservation of the work, transportation, and framing will be discussed and demonstrated. Pastel is a very permanent medium when applied and handled intelligently. All of this will be discussed in class.
