Nice meeting you Paula at Howard Pyle Studio

This sounds so encouraging !

This 6 week in studio class is an introduction for beginners, to explore, experiment, have fun creating, and find confidence with pastel painting.

Topics include showing and using the deep variety of materials to paint on and with, from pastel papers (weights to colors) to pastel hard boards. How to choose and use the different pastel sticks from hard to very soft compositions as well discover pastel brand qualities from machine to hand made pieces.

We will do different studies in pastels which demonstrate “where to begin”, how to create strong value, hue, and compositions, soft and crisp edge making, layering from dark to light, how to make clean soft and strong “marks”. An introduction to underpainting techniques, the surfaces to use and products to apply. Painting from “dark to light”, establishing light source, we also take a look at how to find the “golden mean” of your composition!

Margo was "The Vampress", the soundtrack was spooky, and the room was full of inspired sketchers – what a great night for art and community! Thanks for coming out to the Jester Artspace Farmhouse.

The next sketch event is on November 12th. You’ll be drawing "The Gardener," complete with harvest props and music.
