This series of four classes is designed to give beginners and those with a little experience a strong foundation in painting with dry(soft) pastels.

We'll start with a thorough introduction to materials and tools and move on to under-paintings and techniques for painting trees, skies and water. Students will learn how to plan ahead to avoid mistakes, the importance of value, color selection and treatment of edges, and more.
