Pastels are a great medium for capturing the wide variety of textures and light effects in nature and one can experiment and make immediate changes without muddying the colors. Using the techniques of the impressionist painters, I will teach a clear and practical method for starting your landscapes that can be carried to conclusion in any way you wish. I will work hard to help you realize your vision in your work. Pastels are the perfect plein air medium, they are fast, light weight and easy to carry multiple paintings done in one excursion. They make excellent finished pieces or sketches for larger work done in the studio.
In this class you will learn what you need to know to start or continue painting in plein air with pastels. The class will cover learning the basis of a good composition, setting up your equipment, learning a clear and simple way to start a pastel and help selecting a finish technique for your pastel painting. We will also cover storage and framing.
When the weather permits, we will paint plein air at a variety of locations near SCAA. On bad weather days we will paint in the studio either from new photos or finish paintings started outside. The class will include demonstrations and individual critique. Students of all abilities and level of experience are welcome.
