About this Event
There are so many choices - this includes papers as well as process and markmaking. I’ll be working with a small group of participants (no more than 10) who have experience- or not- with pastels and would like to explore options. I will start the workshop with a demo and examples. Then using three different kinds of pastel paper, three different underpinnings, and three different types of markmaking we will build an abstracted image from observation and compare results at the end.
This workshop is suitable for beginners and intermediate-level pastel artists.
This is a 3 hour workshop with a 1/2 hr. break - bring snacks or a lunch.
Ticket price includes a limited edition high quality 30-color pastel set hand picked by Diane Olivier from our selection in-store from Jack Richeson pastels. All other materials including paper, brushes, etc. are also included in the ticket price.
In the words of Diane... "After many years of working with pastels to create landscape images I have put together this set of 30 sticks. It covers what I consider the basic needs of hue and value to assist in creating a successful image. I am very happy to have a solid set of beautiful, affordable pastels to recommend!"
All students will receive 15% off art supplies on the day of the class.
