Pastel Techiniques Art Series

This is a 8-week art series. Students meet once every week at 5PM Tuesdays.

Each week will start with a new art project.

Our instructor will teach with a step-by-step approach where students learn the basics of using pastels to create art. We will be going over how to break down a drawing into simple colors on a sketch layer before getting more detailed and adding more layers of depth and value to add complexity. How to avoid muddying colors and refine edges of the composition.

Techniques:

• Underpainting
• Layers
• Color Building
• Values
• Shading
• Highlights

Classes are highly interactive and students will have the opportunity to socialize and share their ideas in a fun and upbeat environment.
