MEDIUM: Pastel
SPECIALTY: ✔ Technique

My commitment as a teacher of pastels is to provide you with the fundamental skills that will motivate you to stop duplicating the photo or landscape and show you how to deviate from reality and nurture your artistic inspiration.

The fundamental skills I cover are composition, value structure, temperature, and color harmony. I will also show how to use tools, brayers, squeegees, clear gesso, and alcohol to aid in creating layers of colors in pastel. Each session begins with personalized guidance and feedback on your work. A PDF of the lesson will provide examples of historical and contemporary artists.

Exercises/challenges are given at the end of each class and are designed to stretch your creative powers.
