Mixed-media is an exciting way to work, often producing unexpected but pleasing results. We will learn how working pastel over a dull looking watercolor can bring it back to life. Then we will experiment with watercolor washes over a pastel drawing to create atmospheric effects. Demonstrations will include using pastel and watercolor to achieve contrast, texture, and line in your paintings. Studies will be done from floral arrangements and photo reference.
