Join artist Roisin Bateman and adventure into the world of pastel! Over four 2-hour sessions, beginners and practicing artists alike will be guided through the process of working with this “magical dust,” finding out just how versatile and forgiving pastels can be. In a supportive and relaxed environment, participants will explore the world of color, focusing on value, hue, tone, warm/cool, and complementary colors. Using pan-pastels, pastel sticks, various cloths, and erasers, participants will have the opportunity to experiment with layers, adding and subtracting color to develop their work. Each session will begin with a series of easy and informative warm-up exercises, followed by working from life.
Step-by-step guidance will be provided, along with all necessary materials and equipment. In the words of Roisin: “All you need to bring is an open mind and heart!”
Class size is limited to 10 to ensure an optimal participant-to-instructor ratio.
