Pastels are a versatile and accessible medium for creating vibrant images. This supportive and knowledgeable class will help beginners and continuing artists improve their skills. Each week, participants will receive demonstrations and constructive critiques based on their needs. We will explore what pastels can do through landscapes, portraits, copying masters, and abstract work.
