Are you drawn to the beauty and versatility of pastel but don’t know where to start? This crash course is for you. We will have pastel demonstrations, exercises, and plenty of at-easel encouragement. Learn how to block in a design, underpaint using a wet wash, experiment with a variety of pastel surfaces and materials.
