INTRODUCTION TO PASTEL LANDSCAPE PAINTINGS WITH DAVID KAPHAMMER SUNDAY, JUNE 14, 10AM-3PM $100 MEMBERS, $150 NONMEMBERS
Perfect for beginning and intermediate students, the goal
of this one-day workshop is to integrate under-painting
techniques, and expressive use of color and mark-making
to infuse pastel landscape paintings with light, energy
and motion. Working from photos, preferably your own,
students will complete two or three small paintings on
sanded paper. The workshop will begin with a demo
lasting about 45 minutes,
after which students will
work on their own paintings
with individual coaching
as Kaphammer circulates
among the group. Our
workshop will end with a
critique of student work with
pointers for continuing the
painting momentum after
the day ends.
