Experiment with Patels for Fall

Join us for a fun workshop to experiment with pastels and combining them with other art mediums to take your work to a new level! Students will explore and interpret a fall scene in a relaxed and encouraging learning atmosphere. Extra experimental art mediums will be provided as well as sanded pastel paper.

This class is appropriate for both Beginners and Intermediate level artists.   Following are suggested supplies. Extra supplies will be provided so it isn’t necessary to have everything listed here: Whatever pastels (soft pastels not oil pastels) you might have – NuPastels made by Prismacolor are a good choice to learn with – A backing board or drawing board (a half sheet of Dollar store foam core board works very well) – Baby wipes for your hands – A sketch book and soft pencils or charcoal – An apron or old shirt –  Artist’s tape or drafting tape – Table or floor easel if you have one – An old towel or piece of plastic for a table covering.   Malia Bryngelson is a pastel artist from Locust, North Carolina.
