WORKSHOPS

THE FIGURE IN PASTELS

These workshops are intense three or five day classes in which students are taught a traditional pastel painting technique.

For those wanting to speed up and become less tight in their work, this is an excellent class to take. Students do not need prior pastel experience. Some drawing would be helpful, but not imperative.

Classes begin with a demonstration. Midway through the workshop there is a slide presentation reinforcing pastel technique.

Working with models, students will explore drawing, composition, anatomy, proportion, value, color, and pastel application. Emphasis will be on developing form using light and shadow. Classes are limited to a maximum of 18 students to provide comprehensive individual attention.
