This is an Intermediate class for those who have worked with pastels for a while and are familiar with drawing, the elements of composition, and how and when to use hard and soft pastels. Students will work from their own photo references and perfect the techniques of simplifying, establishing the focal point, and using only the pastels and marks that are needed to tell the story. Explore a variety of approaches in pastel with emphasis on structure, stroke, and pressure in limited palettes applied in layers to create delicate and luminous surfaces.

Create Pastels Like A Master, Helen Solomon

Fridays 1:00-4:00
The goal of this class is to introduce soft pastels and the many ways they can be used. Soft pastels are all about the layering of colors and building your image through those layers. Each student will develop their own style, no matter the subject, still life, landscape, seascape, figure, or portrait. How to prep work surfaces and how to transfer art to sanded paper. For the first half hour of each class, we will critique work created the week before. As a group, we will discuss each other’s artwork. This is a great time to talk about you, the artist, and briefly discuss your next step.
