Explore the intense, vibrant hues of pastel painting! Working on Wallis paper, experiment with underpainting techniques using watercolor, acrylic and/or metallic washes. Composition, color theory, temperature and color recession is part of the instruction and critique. A half-day of plein air painting is planned, weather permitting; students should bring photos of landscapes with early morning or late afternoon light. Day one includes a demonstration and preparation of surfaces, a quick review of materials and composition strategies. Day two is painting on location, then a return to the classroom for light " adjustments " and a brief critique.
