Participants will learn the foundations of a solid approach to pastel portraiture. Topics include: selecting and preparing the proper surface for pastels, application of the medium, working with pastels (layering and making corrections), and finally learning how to preserve the finished piece and framing. Short demos will reinforce concepts discussed in class.
