The word Pastel brings up images of soft, light even romantic paintings. For example Mary Cassatt and Edgar Degas. Not necessarily true! Pastel pigments are the purest form of all the artist mediums and extremely versatile. They can delivery both bold and dynamic paintings! We will experiment with different methods of doing under paintings and different techniques of applying the pastels to achieve the results you are looking for.
For first class, please bring any supplies you have and we will review the supply list
