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.
