Painting Skies & Clouds (6/15)

***Must have taken Introduction to Pastel Painting Workshop or have experience with pastels***

Class Description:

Take an in depth look at how the sky provides so much to a painting. Students will learn about aerial perspective and value in the sky, and use pastel layering techniques to create sky and cloud studies.

Attendees will receive a handout of the topics covered in class and can expect to create a small study after a warm-up exercise and watching an instructor demo. Students will also work on a larger piece of their choosing (8×10 or so). Please bring your own reference photos for the painting.

Materials:

Assorted soft pastels — you may bring your own or add the Materials Fee for Pastels when you register.

Sanded pastel paper/board or PastelMat paper/board — you will need one 5″ x 7″ piece and one 8″ x 10″ (or larger) piece. If you need paper provided, please add the Materials Fee for Paper when you register.

Please bring your own backing board large enough to hold your 8″ x 10″ paper. A drawing board or piece of foam core will work.

Please bring your own reference photos for the painting.

Gloves In a Bottle, paper towels, and tabletop easels will be provided. If you prefer to wear actual gloves, please bring what you need.
