Pastel Workshop (St. Joseph) – Jan ’23

Ready to get back into pastels – or do you want guidance on where to start?

Learn how to work in pastels with mer. This class will have exercises to emphasize the use of the pastels and techniques and is great for both beginners and those that would like more guidance in their current pastel painting process.

I will discuss materials, show examples of my own work, and have a planned exercise to get everyone familiar with the materials. Students need plenty of paper so they have the opportunity to produce more than one painting.

Students are encouraged to bring their own reference photos to work from.

I will inspire you with my love of pastels, which I have been painting with since I was a teenager. I have been a member of the Mid-America Pastel Society for the last 15 years.

This workshop takes place between 10:00am and 4:00pm, on Friday and Saturday, January 20-21, 2023, and is offered with 1-day ($120), and 2-day ($200) option.
