Introduction to Pastels

Class Information

Dry Pastels are remarkably versatile – perfect for creating gorgeous, fine works of art. Get hands-on instruction and answers to your questions about this under-appreciated medium. In this class, students will be introduced to different papers, brands, and techniques for successfully using dry pastels. We will create colorful artworks based on a beach scene selected by the instructor. We will explore how to create an under-drawing and apply the vibrant pastel colors. During class we will spend time helping students to improve their works.
