Pastels Workshop
Adult Class | Registration opens 2/19/2025 8:00 PM EST
What better time to work in pastels in the spring? It’s an organic and colorful time to work in a gentle style. 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. Demos will be given by the instructor.
- Pastels of choice but I recommend Prisma Color and /or Gallery firm sticks. Rembrandt is also excellent. Pastel paper of choice: I use Bristol Paper for an untextured feel or traditional pastel paper: Strathmore 18” x 24” newsprint for a smooth, relaxed style. HB drawing pencil, erasers, paper towels Factis pencil eraser- BM2
