This course welcomes newcomers as well as those who want to renew pastel skills. You will receive instruction in both chalk and oil pastels, including various color application techniques, and paper explorations. Pastel can be applied energetically in broad strokes like paint or in fine layers like drawing. Vibrant colors and strong covering power make this medium fun and exciting. We will be working in a safe, air-filtered room, and masks will be strongly recommended to protect our health.
