Take a much-needed holiday and immerse yourself in daily art workshops! The Holiday Term is a new series of workshops in an array of mediums designed to sharpen your practice or introduce you to new methods and techniques.

Explore the rich and vibrant medium of pastel drawing. Learn different application techniques like blending and cross-hatching to create still-life, landscape, and self-portrait drawings. Experiment with using pastels combined with other media like charcoal and gouache, while learning about color and design. First hour of each class will include lecture and demonstration, in the second hour there will be time to work on your own projects with opportunities for questions and discussion.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN IN THIS CLASS
1. The difference between pastel pencil, hard pastel, and soft pastel
2. Color- analogous color, complementary color, contrast
3. Application Techniques- blending, layering, cross-hatching
4. Techniques for using pastels in combination with other media (gouache and charcoal)
