Diane Murray, 3/10 Pastels for the Beginner to Intermediate

Diane paints in watercolor, pastel, oil and acrylic. She has a strong foundation in pastels and has used most of the pastels that are available as well as most of the surfaces used by pastel artists.

This class will be an introduction to pastels with info on how to select and use various types of pastels, grounds appropriate for pastels, methods for using different pastels, problems that pastel artists encounter, and fixes. This class is most suitable for those new to pastels or intermediate users who want to know more about possible pastel supplies to add to their sets.

We will be exploring everything from very hard pastels to the softest on the market as well as PanPastels (which will be covered in the second session). You don’t have to bring any particular brand to be in the class. Just bring what you have. A supply list for items you will need to bring is coming.

Maximum class size: 16
Minimum class size: 8
