Enjoy this two-day Pastel Art class with Ann, which offers participants the opportunity to create using various types of chalk and oil pastels while exploring many pastel techniques and unique styles.
Whether you love working with rich colors or quiet tones, this class provides a welcoming environment to learn foundational skills such as layout drawing, color blending, layering for depth, creating smooth gradients, and building texture through expressive mark-making. Ann will offer guided instruction and demonstrations throughout.
