Foundations of Pastels

The medium of pastels combines elements of drawing and painting. In this course, we’ll discuss techniques for choosing your pastels; communicating a variety of textures; layering in a composition; expressive mark making for representational and abstract work; choosing paper and other substrates; and study the works of pastel artists past and present. Prior drawing experience helpful but not required. Please bring drawing paper, pencil, and chalk pastels to the first class; instructor will provide a comprehensive materials list then.
