Walk Through Fire 6x9 pastel, plein air Painted with the Extreme Limited Pastel Palette |
I've been asked to teach a four-day, studio-only, pastel-only "Exploring Color" workshop. I think this is a great idea, because pastel painters tend to be limited by the "if I don't have the exact right color, I'm in trouble" way of thinking. The good news is, you can do a lot with just a few colors!
Below are the details:
In this studio-only workshop, you will learn about different color palettes, color temperature as it relates to the landscape and still life, the advantages of starting with a monochromatic grisaille and how color can be used to create depth in a painting. As a bonus,you'll learn about my "extreme limited pastel palette" and how it will help with color-mixing skills. For this workshop, students will need a large variety of pastels including both high-chroma sticks, neutrals and earth colors. Students should be comfortable with painting in pastel.
Workshop runs February 24-27, Tuesday-Friday, 9-1 each day in Sedona, Arizona. Maximum number of students: 5.
Cost of the workshop: $300 with a $150 non-refundable deposit. To register and pay the deposit, visit www.PaintSedona.com and sign up on the schedule page.
