About

Study a selection of photographs featuring little houses in snowy, wooded landscapes. After you find inspiration for your pastel piece, you'll practice basic pastel skills to sketch outlines, layer colors, and create depth with darks and lights.

Once you're confident with your basic piece, move on to add creative detail and learn techniques to transform white spaces into pillowy snow and calm reflections on water and ice.

Details

Skill level: Suitable for beginners and those with intermediate pastel experience. Come prepared to learn, practice, and have a great time!

Details

  • A $7 materials fee, included in the cost of the class, covers paper, a new kneaded eraser, and a charcoal pencil.
  • Bring your own pastel set or use the pastels provided by the studio. 

Class Policies

Ages 14 and up are welcome.
