Pastel Workshops with Lisa Stauffer
|
Lisa will be teaching a class at the Grand Marais Art Colony in May. Consider shaking off winter and diving in to spring with a fun group of pastel painters!
Painting In Pastel: Landscape from Photographs Click on the title for full details on the GMAC website The description: Bring your pastel landscapes to life through a better understanding of key artistic principles. We’ll discuss design and composition, painting fundamentals, the importance of accurate drawing and those valuable tools: color, value, intensity, and temperature, among others. We’ll experiment with and have fun exploring a variety of painting approaches. Students will paint from their own photo reference materials, paintings, and field studies. Lisa will lead the class in an exploration of materials, including pastel brands, papers and techniques. Class time will include demonstrations, one-to-one instruction, and group critique. May 10-13, 2023, $440 |
Lisa will also be teaching a Plein Air class in Pastel, July 3-7, including a nocturne and a chance to paint fireworks (weather permitting!)
