Soft Pastels Basics Course

Do you love the vibrancy of pastel paintings? Learn how to create one (or many!) yourself in this 4-week, beginner-friendly class. Pastel artist Susie Wallace will teach you the basic properties of soft pastels and introduce you to the materials, tools, and techniques necessary to work with this exciting medium.

You’ll begin by learning how to make various marks using pastels to create simple works of art. Then, you’ll experiment with color mixing, composition, and creating complete paintings from photographs. You’ll leave the course with a solid understanding of soft pastels, along with the tools (a set of 72 pastels are yours to keep!), knowledge, and confidence necessary to continue your pastel adventure.

No previous pastel or drawing experience necessary.
