This class of three sessions is for beginners and intermediate levels (drawing skills needed). We will start with the fundamentals of pastels as in mark making, values, chroma, atmospheric perspective and composition. I will demonstrate, and then you will follow along in the steps of how to create a great landscape painting.
We will all do the same landscape painting the first day. Then in following classes students can bring photos, or use the many photos Bev will bring.
