Gouache Plein Air workshop

Disney images) and portraits of animal and / or people. I will be giving a
thorough demonstration of Gouache and its many applications to achieve
your desired effects with confidence. There will be many opportunities for

Still Life Pastel Painting Workshop

Pastel IS synonymous with COLOR PAINTING. In this workshop you will explore
several pastel painting techniques resulting in a luscious color infused floral and
fruit still life. You will gain command of the Broken Color technique which uses
similar colors to create a more interesting pastel painting. You will also be
trained in the hatching, feathering and scumbling techniques which are very
important for the use of shading. As you gain control over these techniques you
will confidently acquire an exciting new range of color awareness through a
variety of applications. By the end of the worksop you will have a beautiful color
rich pastel painting of your flower and fruit still life. Throughout this workshop
you can expect thorough demonstrations with plenty of feedback as you
become more assured in the use of these new techniques as well as refining
older ones. This class is for the first time user to everyone in-between including the more advanced student.
