Beautiful produce, glamorous cocktails, birthday cakes, pizza and doughnuts, the simple, elegant egg—pastel is perfect for capturing food and drink. In this class, we’ll work from life and our own photos to create food “portraits” of single items as well as more complex kitchen, restaurant, or market scenes. We’ll begin by surveying some of the diversity of food paintings done by pastel artists, and then do a series of paintings, each with a challenge to help us master color, light, and surface texture as they apply to food and drink.
