August 19th, September 2nd, September 9th

12:00-3:00

All levels and beginners are welcome! I MAY BE OFFERING A THURSDAY CLASS IF THIS FILLS UP QUICKLY.

Each class will consist of a half-hour demonstration followed by painting time and teacher guidance. We will discuss composition, underpainting techniques (dry vs wet), and the use of different papers to achieve the best result. Please bring 2-3 reference photos of HOLLYHOCKS if you have them to work from or you may use my reference photo that I will bring to the first class. I will be supplying the pan pastels for students to experiment with during class. If you have Clairfontaine Pastel Mat paper please bring it to class, otherwise you can purchase it from me at $5/sheet

Materials List:

• Backing board. 18 x 24 or larger is a good size. Must be firm enough to tape your pastel paper onto. (clip board, 1/4-inch foam core etc)

• Low tac masking tape

• Scissors

• 18” metal ruler

• X-acto knife

• Paper towels

• Reference photo: photocopy, laptop, or tablet

• An assortment of soft pastels and pastel pencils

* Please note that I bring a large selection of pastels to each class that students may use. I don’t expect artists new to the pastel medium to spend a lot of money on supplies. Bring what you have. I offer sanded paper for purchase of $5/sheet.

* Pastel Recommendations: Prismacolor NuPastel set (Michaels or Amazon) Sennelier half-stick Paris Collection (Amazon) Easels are supplied in the classroom
