Pastels, Painting Animals – A special 3 week session
Old Murdock Building (COA), 1st Floor, 52 Murdock Ave, Winchendon
All levels and beginners are welcome!
At the first class, Maryann will cover the basics of pastels: Soft pastels, different brands, soft pastels vs hard pastels, as well as pan pastels and pastel pencils. Next, she will speak about different pastel papers and surfaces. She will then do a brief 10-minute demonstration. The remaining class time will be spent drawing or transferring the subject matter onto the black sanded paper then blocking in the first layer of pastel.
The remaining two classes will consist of a half-hour demonstration followed by painting time and teacher guidance.
A materials list will be supplied along with a photo reference that she will be using for her demonstration. You may follow along with her or bring your own photo reference (Note: if Maryann’s reference photo is used, you may give away your painting but it cannot be for sale as it is her composition and reference material). Print-out, laptop, or tablets may be used for your own reference photos.
Maryann has achieved her Master Pastelist title with the Pastel Society of America and her Master Circle designation with the International Association of Pastel Societies.
Note: there is a 5-student minimum/12-student maximum
Sign up early to make certain that there’s enough enrollment to run the class. Once you Register, we will email you the materials List that you will need for class. Black sanded paper will be available during class for $5/sheet.
