In this class students will explore the diverse qualities of soft pastel, and its ability to be combined with other mediums such as watercolor and water mixable oil paint. There will be emphasis on understanding composition and color theory in this workshop. Students may bring their own landscape, floral or still life references or work from reference images provided.
The pastel medium provides the artist with the incredible flexibility of merging painting and drawing together to create beautiful, unique artwork. The ability to create an endless variety of marks, whether you are taking advantage of the shape of the pastel stick to make direct marks, or manipulate the color through the use of tools to rub, scratch, or brush the pigment on the surface of your painting, pastel is a unique medium for creating art. The immediacy of being able to choose a color from an endless palette without having to mix paint to create colors allows the artist to experiment and play with the color interaction in an accessible way unlike any other medium.
