Impressionist Landscape Drawing using Soft Pastels at Nell's Woodland


ID : 27422   

« back to classes page
Join local art teacher and artist Julie Jenkins in exploring the medium of pastels in the serene landscape of Nell’s Woodland. Learn about the medium of soft pastels and create a landscape or botanical drawing en plein air (outdoors). Soft pastel is a wonderful medium, it’s ultra-soft, blendable, vibrant and it almost feels like creating with pure pigment. You can bring a landscape photograph or use our surroundings at Nell's Woodland as the subject for your finished piece. We will practice layering and blending techniques. We will discuss pieces created by the Impressionists and adapt them to create our own masterpieces.

Students will take home a set of landscape pastels and blending stumps at the end of class.

No experience necessary.
Supplies included. Ages: 13+. Children can register and attend class with an adult over the age of 18 who is also attending class.

Supplies ($30 value) are included in your tuition fee and will be provided at class. Students will take home a set of soft landscape pastels and blenders to use on future projects.
