Join fine artist Catherine Bobkoski for a demonstration on drawing autumn flowers in soft pastel, using a rich monochromatic palette to focus on the fundamentals of form, value, and edge control. This painterly approach to drawing bridges the gap between drawing and painting, which helps students to simplify complex floral subjects into expressive value relationships and clear, three-dimensional form. Through this process, we’ll explore how to suggest form and atmosphere, organize value structure for visual impact, and use edges to create depth and softness. This session is perfect for artists who want to strengthen their drawing foundation while enjoying a technique that closely mimics painting.
