Intermediate Pastels
taught by Carolyn Justice
This class is designed to help you develop both confidence and creativity while learning to work with pastels. With a focus on originality and discovering your personal style, you’ll explore how to interpret subjects in your own way while learning solid techniques.
We’ll cover the basics of value, layering, and blending as you work from still life, portraits, landscapes, and photo references. Step by step, you’ll gain the skills to handle more complex subjects while being encouraged to experiment and find your own artistic voice.
Beginners are welcome! Materials will be provided during class to beginners. Students who have taken a pastel class previously are asked to bring their own pastels.
