Soft Painting with Pastels

Description

Working in pastels can almost feel like “soft painting.  In this workshop learn how to blend colors smoothly and quickly to develop a great sense of color.  Choose to work on slick paper, which unlike the more traditional pastel papers, lends itself to creating color almost by “accident.” There’s a sense of rhythm and motion when working in this medium.  Color can move about smoothly and the blending process is very forgiving. During the workshop, explore techniques like over-blending, feathering, tonal development, pastel tips and more. Demos are given by the instructor. Supply list available upon registration.
