Cost: $200
Class Description | Tom will begin the workshop with a demonstration of pastel painting using various textural techniques for underpainting on gator board. Attending artists will receive instruction and prepare their own textured surface for pastel painting. Tom will have enough gator board to allow each artist to prepare his own surface to paint on throughout the workshop.
Attending artists will receive additional instructions in Plein-air painting as well as studio techniques. This workshop is also open to artists not currently working in pastel. The central focus of the instruction is on understanding value, color, and texture in the midwest landscape.
Artists are encouraged to bring photographs to use as reference material. Tom will also have photos for reference as well as a good supply of gator board…sufficient time each day will be provided for individual instruction and goal planning for all attending artists. Students are also encouraged to bring previous works for individual critique.
