Visual Arts Brampton
Spend an evening creating a glistening winter landscape using soft pastels. Finally use all the cool tones in your pastel box to render shadows and evergreens and learn how to capture the glistening winter snow by maximizing pinks and neon.
Participants will be taught effective techniques to encourage creating movement in their paintings. Participants will learn how to use soft pastels through techniques such as layering, blending and creating texture, as well as the use of varied palettes in landscape studies.
This workshop is open to all levels, from novice to intermediate. First timers are also welcome. Materials are included for in-person students, or bring your own.
