Join me for a two day pastel workshop in Helena sponsored by The Art Center and the Montana Pastel Society. I'll be demonstrating in soft pastel. Students may work in any medium they choose, but much of the information will be specific to pastel painting. I look forward to seeing you there!
Some of the things we'll cover in the workshop:
The materials I use and why I prefer them
My approach to the use of color
How to use color theory to create dramatic color compositions
How I use non literal colors in making value studies
How I simplify the subject to create a highly abstract interpretation of the landscape
How to use fixatives without diminishing color intensity
Mounting and framing considerations
Workshop: January 8th & 9th 9 am - 4 pm Reception: January 7th 5-7 pm
