Learn to paint powerful flowers from life with pastels. I’ll show you how to use strong colors and dramatic light to create a floral painting.
We’ll work from life with fresh flowers, using careful observation of color temperatures, values, hues, edges and more. We’ll also learn how to portray opaque petals and translucent ones.
Fresh flowers will be provided (with a supply fee under $10). You are also welcome to bring any others you’re interested in painting and/or are blooming in your gardens. (A few bulbs may be awake by the time we meet.)
I’ll demonstrate with pastels each day, and work one-on-one with each artist individually. Feel free to bring ideas, questions, and/or works in progress, too.
For all levels, from beginning through seasoned artists. Ages 16 and up. This workshop is also suitable for oil or acrylic artists. A number of the concepts apply to those mediums, as well.
