Painting with Pastel

Develop your pastel painting skills

With Harvey Segal

All elements and principles of art are covered: composition, values, edges, color, etc. Each student works at their own level, with hands-on help and demonstrations from the teacher. Artwork creations are based on still life and photos (landscape and figures), starting with Black and White, and working towards color. With practice, everyone can become accomplished and learn to see like an artist. The magic word is attitude. What kind of artist do you want to be?

Enhancing Watercolour

Learn about watercolour painting

With Renée Mizgala

Students should have a basic knowledge of watercolour and be ready to attempt more difficult subject matter. They will learn techniques not only on regular watercolour paper, but also on canvas and other Oriental papers. Through demonstrations and critiques students will be encouraged to paint not only in a realistic manner, but also in a more painterly and personal approach. They must be willing to experiment and be daring!
