PASTEL PAINTING IN 3 STEPS C ZACK
FRIDAY AFTERNOONS 12:30PM – 3:00PM
Pastel painting has seen some recent relatively new advances, along with improved types of pastels and painting surfaces along with better ways to frame and protect your finished pastel paintings. In this class, you can be either a soft/dry pastel painter or an oil pastel painter. Come join us as a beginner or beyond.
We will focus on three classic steps to build a pastel painting:
Step 1. Establishing a limited palette based on Values
Step 2. Including a gestural underpainting as the first stage of the painting
Step 3. Developing the pastel painting with a focus on Shapes, Values, Edges, Colors & Textures
You will also be learning updated presentation skills for framing, how to use your digital phone camera to see values in your painting, and how to take good photos of your work. Weekly critiques will help to improve your skills. Believe it or not, knowing how to draw is always helpful, but not required for this class. B.I.A.
