Online Zoom Workshop
Saturday, September 12th
1:30 - 4:30
This exciting Online Pastel Painting Workshop with Lon Brauer will cover methods and strategies in the making of a pastel drawing.
“Everyone familiar with pastel will have their own way of doing things. With this presentation, I will offer some alternative approaches.”
Lon has provided several reference images that can be used by students to paint along as he describes his approach (a link to these mages will be email to after you register).
The supply list (which will be emailed to you after you register) indicates the materials Lon recommends, but you are free to work in the materials that work well for you.
To learn more about Lon scroll down to the bottom of this listing.
REQUIREMENT: You must be a current APS member to attend.
WORKSHOP FEE: $60
