Infuse your pastels with energy and bold color as you take them to the next level in this inspiring 4-day workshop. You’ll learn how composition, color, values and happy little accidents create dynamic paintings. If you love to experiment with new ideas and materials and are ready to move beyond the pretty picture, then this is the workshop for you. Students will explore shapes, negative space and color affects through discussion, mini-demonstrations, hands-on painting, and critiques. We’ll work from still lifes, photographs of the figure and landscape, and Plein Air studies - weather permitting. Emphasis will be on simplification and movement to produce energetic, show stopping works of art.
