Landscapes in Soft Pastels for Beginners

Tuesdays, 6:30 – 9:30 pm

The luminosity, portability, and immediacy of working in soft pastel will become your new joy. Step-by-step instruction using landscape images develops technique, composition, and color use for those who are new to the pastel medium. This class is taught by award-winning pastel artist Catherine McCormick, president of Northern Indiana Pastel Society. Beginners will meet experienced pastel artists who will be working in another area of the studio. A warm, welcoming atmosphere is emphasized.
