Pastels are known and loved for their rich, vibrant pigments and forgiving nature. Learn to see color with new eyes as Rachel helps you master the subtleties of color within skin tones, fabrics and floral. We will work from photographs and instruction will focus on the basics: transferring an initial drawing to a pastel surface, color application and blending and layering techniques to achieve a striking life-like painting. Class atmosphere is fun and relaxed and the individual critique will benefit each student, teaching them how to problem solve. Students will begin by master copying. Some previous drawing experience is helpful. Bring supplies to first class.
