A comprehensive overview of learning intuitive and artistic techniques to combine what you observe along with your emotional response, in order to express it with your hand. In this 3-week intensive I will teach you to expand your skills as a pastel painter.  I will be pushing you to explore beyond your comfort zone, and into a greater sense of the artist you are. Your Voice Elevated.   This workshop is for intermediate to professional artists who are interested in advancing their skill in the medium of pastel.   We will explore deeper into materials, methods and techniques to help you represent your subject. I will personally be gathering additional supplies with your small materials fee to introduce you to new surfaces. You will be bringing your own standard surfaces in large sizes that can be cut to size giving you the option to explore larger work with my help.  Through demonstration, discussion and abundant studio time, you will be learning your personal path to being the one-of-a-kind artist that you are. Each week will build upon the last. By the end of the 3-week session, you will be feeling you have gained the skill and confidence to take your work forward into uncharted territory!Bring a dedicated notebook to take down information I share with you in class. You will be referencing back to your notes as you go through class as well as long after we finish. Bring an open mind, an open heart and prepare to have a great time!
