Everybody loves their pets! In this three-hour class, pastel instructor extraordinaire Mary Jane Erard will lead you through the process of sketching and drawing your pet's portrait in soft pastel. Don’t have a pet? Bring a source photo of any animal! Most materials provided. Participants should buy a sheet of 9x12" sanded pastel paper or Ampersand Pastelbord (any brand is fine, available at both Depo locations for $5 - 15 depending on what you choose). Students are welcome to bring their own pastel supplies if they have some on hand, and would like MJ to teach them how to better use what they own.
Please bring a source photo of your pet, 8 1/2" X 11", in color, on "regular" thin copy paper. Please see the graphic included in the image bank for this workshop that shows you the best source photo needed to make a great pet portrait. Print your image is on an 8.5" X 11" copy or computer paper. It can be on black and white, as long as you have an image in color. Your pet's image should be large and centered on your paper. Small images, as in the sample photo on the right, are not recommended. You will want your image to fill most of your paper. Remember, these images will be transferred to your pastel paper and this image is what you will use to create your pet's portrait.
Necessary Supplies to bring or buy: A printed 8.5 x 11 photo of your pet and a sheet of 9x12" sanded pastel paper or Ampersand Pastelbord (any brand is fine, available at both Depo locations for $5 - 15 depending on what you choose).
Mary Jane will help students draw or trace their pet on pastel paper during the first part of the of class, followed by a short demo of how to use pastel and plenty of one on one instruction. Assistance will be given to all students, as per your need. This class is SUPER FUN and often sells out quickly. All students, regardless of skill level, leave this workshop with a very cute pastel portrait of their pet.
