Soft Pastels & Mixed Media

Course Code: ARTS2540

Versatile, resilient, and almost pure pigment, pastels reflect the light like a prism and can satisfy any creative drive. Whatever your preferred subject matter when drawing with pastels, learn to push your drawings to new heights using a variety of techniques, surfaces, and different kinds of soft pastels. Learn to create customized supports tailored to your expressive needs, to incorporate pastels into mixed media works, and how to layer them into impasto-like paintings. Instruction will provide a sound basis in drawing skills and colour knowledge, which can be applied to other mediums as well. Drawing sessions will be conducted both in-studio and outdoors, weather permitting.
A $25 material fee payable to the instructor will be needed on your first day of class
