Pastels are a great intuitive medium with a wide range of application. This workshop will focus on value, color, and markmaking. Using pastels, we will explore learning to see value accurately, big shapes, and color. Demonstrations, critique, and painting individually will help students grasp concepts that will help them understand how to accurately represent their OWN photo references.
