Pastel Painting for Beginners

Pastel Painting for Beginners (Thurs 6:30PM)

Relax and learn the basics of pastel painting in a supportive class for beginners or brand-new students. All materials are provided so you can focus on trying your hand at this very forgiving medium. Discover the tips and tricks of composition, color blending, and how to recover from “mistakes” quickly. In this mini-class session, you’ll improve your observation skills, learn valuable art skills, and discover if pastels are the right medium for you!

If you don't have your own materials, materials will be provided in the first class, and guidance will be given should you wish to purchase your own supplies.
