Adventures in Pastel – Online group activities for Members
Welcome to the Adventure Series online group activities for 2024!
We are excited to offer our members a new set of six challenges beginning in January, 2024! What better way to explore and experiment and discover the joys of pastel painting? If you are new to our Adventure Series, this is how it works: On the third Wednesday of the month you will receive a new Adventure via your APS Member email that will challenge you to use your pastels in a unique and creative way.

April 16, 2024 – Adventure E-4, “Styling”
This Adventure is all about painting in the style of one of your favorite artists. People often talk about a painting that’s “just not my style” or they say “I can recognize the style of that artist anytime”. Many artists will say it took them years to find their style and others will confess they are still looking for theirs.
