Red Flowers in Pastels with Deborah Shea

This class will take you through a soft pastel journey to learn about Georgia O'Keeffe's style of creating red florals. We will discuss some of her paintings and learn about basic art terms including value, composition and color. We will work with sketches, underpainting and layering to create our own beautiful pastel paintings.

This is a beginning to intermediate class.

Takes place at Art Bias, Studio 114, 1700 Industrial Road, San Carlos, CA.

This class is part of a recurring, monthly (3rd Saturday) pastels class taught by Deb Shea. Every month, the pastels journey will continue with new themes and techniques.

Deborah Shea is a nationally renowned and award winning pastel artist, recently exhibiting her work at the Triton Museum, Chan Zuckerberg Community Space and Society of West Coast Artists, among other locations. Deb is also a regular teacher at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Deb had a successful career in graphic design, and now devotes herself full time to her studio art. She says, “I am inspired by the natural world. I love to capture all the beauty in the florals, working with the abstract shapes of the flower centers and the petals. Flowers have long been symbols of energy and hope of this engagement and reinvigoration.”

Deborah received a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art and Design at the University of California at Davis where she studied in a summer course with Ruth Asawa, Wayne Theibaud, Roland Peterson, and Frances Butler. She is currently working on her MFA at the Academy of Art in San Francisco. Deb has exhibited her work in dozens of exhibitions locally and nationally.
