Let's Learn Soft Chalk Pastels.
About the Event:
In this beginning class you will learn the basics of using soft pastels, what supplies work best, and how to create wonderful effects. This is a fast-working medium, and most projects can be completed in just a few hours or less. You will learn different strokes, how to blend and when not to and how to capture light. We will do florals, landscapes and still life. We will also learn how to preserve and frame your work.
Week 1: Let’s Get Started!
We will start a simple still life and learn how to layer colors to get bright, clear tones.
In this class we will:
- Become familiar with the supplies needed to create a professional pastel painting and start the techniques of layering.
- Learn the basics of painting what you see, composition, and placement of subject matter in a painting.
Here is a list of recommended supplies, although you are welcome to join the class if you are unable to obtain them all. This list will also be sent in your confirmation and reminder emails.
