Explore the Power of Light and Shadow On Flowers with Pastel
This one-day workshop will explore the transformative qualities of light and shadow on flowers. It's what makes us stop and stare when we see some flowers and pass others by. We will focus on the principles of value and composition to bring these beautiful subjects to life! The day promises to be energetic, engaging and individualized to your needs. Join us! All levels welcome.
The class will include instructor demonstrations, interaction, and individual critiques designed for beginners getting started with pastels and experienced painters interested in taking a fresh approach.
Supply List:
REFERENCE PHOTOS: Instructor will provide reference photos but you are welcome to bring 1-2 simple photos with strong contrast, preferably that you took yourself.
Janet is a practicing artist and art workshop instructor. Janet uses pastels, oils, and charcoal to explore the variation of light in nature and architecture. She is particularly drawn to the chaos and unexpected beauty of urban landscapes, traffic and, more recently, ships and the shoreline. Her workshops focus on the importance of value and composition in painting.
Janet brings a very personal and unique viewpoint to her work, which dramatically captures the mood of her emotionally-charged subjects. She currently divides her time teaching art and creating and exhibiting her work throughout New England.
