This class explores the fundamentals of using different types of pastels (soft, hard, oil), and essential techniques to create colorful and expressive art. Through guided step-by-step instruction often involving still life objects or photographs, students will experiment with different tools and surfaces to develop foundational skills in blending, layering, and shading to create smooth transitions and rich textures unique to pastel drawing. Students will also learn how to mix colors directly on the paper and use value and color relationships to build form and light. This class is suitable for all levels of experience.
