Class Information
Join us and paint a portrait using pan pastels and soft pastel pencils. Pan pastels create a lovely soft rich underpainting that is clarified with soft pastel pencils. They are mixed on paper to create the color you desire and applied with a sponge applicator. Use an image of someone you know or an image you like (8×10). It will be traced, projected, or drawn onto pastel mat paper. I will demonstrate the drawing process, moving from dark to light, adding color, blending, and clarifying.
