With an emphasis on landscape and how color, form, and perspective work together in successful compositions, students will learn various techniques of pastel painting. The class will practice layering, blending, and creating texture as well as overall good craftsmanship specific to the oil pastel medium. Students will participate in guided practices as well as create their own original pastel landscape painting. By the end of this course, students will have grown their skills as an artist in a supportive setting and will have expanded their portfolio with new work.
This course is for adults and teens of all skill levels. Students between the age of 13 and 17 must be registered to take the course with a parent or guardian and must be accompanied by the parent or guardian at each session. The guardian must also sign a Blanket Authorization Form. This will be sent in an email a week before the course begins and must be completed before the first session.
