Past Drawing and Painting Classes

Techniques for Pastels with Jude Tolar, PSA, IAPS/MC*

This two-day workshop will focus on techniques for painting with hard and soft pastels. We’ll try new ways to use pastels, as well review and revisit favorite ways to use them. We’ll work some from life, using various objects as our models. We'll also work some from photos. Feel free to bring ideas, questions, and/or works in progress, too.

Landscapes Etc... Pastel Workshop with Jude Tolar

This workshop explores pastel possibilities in landscapes and other subjects. It’s a follow-up to my Landscapes pastel workshop, but attendance at the earlier Landscapes workshop isn’t necessary for this one.

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.
