Pastel Classes


"Learn to Infuse Your Paintings with Vibrant Color and Life."

Classes are open to all levels of students from beginner to advanced. A basic knowledge of color theory is considered very helpful as classes are about the layering of color to achieve a vibrant glow to give life to your paintings.

When and Where:*
Wednesdays, 9:30 am-3:30 pm (Full day), 12:30 pm-3:30 pm (Half day), beginning January 6, 2010, at the Squirrel's Nest Studio in Candler, NC.

Cost:
Class cost is payable on a monthly basis. $50 day (5 hours), or $25 half day (3 hours), times the number of Wednesdays in the month. Pre-registration is required and due at the beginning of each month.

Supplies Needed:
A free-standing easel (not table). Any soft pastels you have, medium charcoal sticks and any other supplies you may need. Recommended paper: Canson Mi-Tientes (red, turquoise, tobacco, or yellow green), or a sanded paper (Art Spectrum Colorfix or Wallis) in non-white colors (I will have some extra for sale at cost, if you should need any). You may also want to bring 8-10 outdoor photos you have taken. Please also bring some photos or pieces of your work to help me understand your style as well as level of study to the first class. You may also want to bring a lunch as we sometimes work through noon-time.

Early registration is suggested as classes fill quickly and there is a limit on class size to allow for individual instruction when necessary.
