Beautiful Backgrounds Pastel Class with Maryann Mullett

THURSDAY SESSION: 12-3   June 4, 11, 18    $90

Whether the subject matter is a beautiful still life or a bird, or an animal, are you struggling with what do you do for the background? You’re not alone! In this session, we will discuss composition as well as different ideas for backgrounds to best highlight the main characters within a painting.

BRING A FEW REFERENCE PHOTOS OF A STILL LIFE OR AN ANIMAL WITH YOU TO THE FIRST CLASS

I will help you with suggestions for various options for backgrounds for you to consider

BEGINNERS WELCOME!

I have a “suggested” materials list that will be sent out upon registration.

To encourage beginners that may not want to purchase a lot of supplies before trying out pastels, I have a lot of pastels for students to use during class. I also have pastel paper that I sell to students at $5/sheet.
