Delving into Pastels

Working in this medium is so exciting-it’s a forgiving one!  You can blend, add value, and erase! Dig in for detail or be free according to your style.  We will be working with Autumn still lifes as you create color palettes, explore pastel strokes and so much more. For those of you who have already taken this workshop, we will explore new styles or hone in on your previous pieces. Please, bring in any pieces you are working on or have worked on.  You’ll enjoy the versatility of pastels.  Demos will be given by the instructor. Material list available upon registration.
