Plants are great, but it's the people that make our garden special.
Learn how to create clouds, haze, rain shafts, and other atmospheric conditions in the soft pastel medium. Challenge yourself to create a more engaging painting that goes beyond your photo references by exaggerating or changing colors, increasing or reducing contrast, and creating hard and soft edges. Some previous pastel experience is helpful but not required. Please bring a bag lunch.
Using a classic piece of literature, Acres of Diamonds, we will explore what richness rests right outside our own back door, literally and metaphorically. Join us for a dedicated moment to explore, celebrate, write, and reflect on the little things in front of us.
