Pastels Workshop
What better time to work in pastels than in the winter? It’s an
organic and colorful time to work in a gentle style. Let’s go for a
winter palate as well as create something bright and colorful for
those grey days.Working in pastels can almost feel like “soft
painting,” and blending colors smoothly and quickly gives you a
chance to really develop a great sense of mood. There is a sense
of rhythm and motion when working in this medium; color can
move about smoothly and the blending process is very forgiving.
This class has a required materials list.
Painting Or Drawing The Portrait
Become more confident as a portraitist and capture the personality of your subject in your art. Students already confident in a medium other than graphite pencil (e.g. oil, acrylic, pastels, etc.) should feel free to bring them to class. Otherwise, prepare to draw with pencil and bring a 9 x12 sketch pad, a few soft pencils (anything from 6B to 9B), and, preferably, a kneaded eraser.
Drawing For All
Students will draw with graphite pencil, learning about line, dark and light values, composition and more. We will turn the ordinary into the sublime, working from a still life (and other things) of each student’s own design. Please bring a few soft pencils (6B to 9B) and a 9 x12 sketch pad to the first class. Please note: no class 01/19.
