Landscapes
Pastel Workshop with Jude Tolar, PSA, IAPS/MC*
Landscapes have a lot of visual information in them. This workshop will help you sort through the visuals and choose what is important for your landscape painting. You’ll learn what to include, what to emphasize and how to simplify. Other topics: creating spacial distance and atmosphere, color temperatures and values. We’ll work with your photo references and some of mine.
Holiday Wreath
Decorate your own personal wreath with natural assorted pinecones, seedpods, nuts, leaves, and acorns. Make it your own! There will be gold and silver paint, ribbons, and anything else I can find in my studio that would enhance a holiday wreath. Your finished piece can be hung on a door or wall or placed on a table with a candle in the center. You will be able to use your creation for years to come.
