Experience the excitement of this accessible, portable art medium that can be used for applications ranging from a quick sketch to a refined painting. This two-day workshop will introduce students to concepts for quickly capturing light, shadow, and reflection in a composition.
Exercises and demonstrations will be conducted to help participants appreciate color relationships and qualities; and time will be given for experimenting with the materials. Participants will practice technical approaches such as value and color composition planning, preparation of surfaces, and materials selection. They will be given the opportunity to develop a painting from a photograph or other resource and get one-on-one feedback.
This workshop is designed for older teens and adults who aren’t afraid of a little messiness and new ways to experience color. Participants should come dressed in work clothes that can be laundered. An apron is recommended!
Small pastel sets and board will be provided by the instructor for $26. For those who have their own hard pastels, the materials fee will be $6. Soft pastels may be used in addition.
The workshop will be held on Saturday and Sunday, June 26th and 27th, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Tuition for the class is $75, and registration can be made by calling The Allegany Arts Council, 301-777-2787. Students will meet at the Arts at Canal Place Gallery in the Shops at Canal Place. The instructor will then accompany them to the classroom in the Shops at Canal Place area.
