weekend pastel intensive

For anyone who can’t get enough of pastels – take the entire weekend to paint and draw to your heart’s content! We’ll meet Friday evening briefly to discuss materials and supplies for the weekend and how to best pack them for outdoor work. Saturday morning we’ll meet at a pre-selected location outdoors, weather permitting, and will work there all day. Sunday we’ll meet at VisArts and draw a still life in the studio. If the weather is poor on Sat, we’ll switch days. This class will give you the opportunity to draw quick sketches as well as to work up finished pieces, all from life!
