Mixed media using watercolors and soft (dry) pastels offers wonderful ways to construct textural, 3D looking artworks, while enjoying the relaxing, meditative, therapeutic aspects of art-making. Explore fun, traditional and experimental ways to apply these materials to achieve interesting effects. We start with a paint-along demonstration, then branch into individual choices of subject.
No prior experience or drawing ability necessary.
Continuing students will work on their own projects with individual mentoring in developing their portfolios and styles.
Required Materials
If you already have materials, bring them along. Don't buy sets of pastels specially for this course, as specific colors listed (and added as you go along, according to what subject you choose) will be more useful.
Watercolors: (Artists' quality Winsor & Newton recommended)
Soft Pastels (NOT oil pastels):
Boards/Surfaces:
Ampersand Pastelbords 9” x 12” (for floral) and 12” x 16” (for landscape).
Please note: Ampersand's Aquabord is not a substitute for Pastelbord.
Brushes:
synthetic watercolor brushes round and flat, in assorted sizes. A set (e.g. 'Stroke' by Princeton) is fine.
Other Materials:
