Pastels are often thought of as somewhere between drawing and painting. In this workshop, we will push it toward painting, with an emphasis on expressive color. There will be demonstrations and some simple exercises in technique and color, then you will create your own works from the still life or a photo reference. There will also be plenty of one-on-one instruction.
