Introduction to Soft Pastels: Cows under the Northern Lights! (Adult)

An introduction to the beauty of the soft pastel medium. Artists have been using soft pastels for centuries to create art of all types including realism, abstract, and impressionism. Soft pastels brilliant color and versatility are like acrylic and oil paints but in a dry medium. We will practice laying color down on paper before we complete a fun drawing of cows under the northern lights!

Soft Pastels for Beginners - Snow Bird (Adult)

Want to try a new medium that has been around for a long time? Soft pastels are a dry medium composed of paint pigments and a minimum of binder. They allow the artist to build color and depth like the acrylic or oil artist but in a medium that is dry and lightly portable making this a great option for those who like to draw or paint “plain air” or outside of your home or studio. Open to anyone who wants to try soft pastels for the first or 100th time! We will review the skills taught in our Intro course and build on those skills to create an adorable snow bird.

All supplies are included. Please note that this class will generate dust for those that are sensitive.
