Experiment and use various pastels and surfaces, option to incorporate mixed media and try out new pastel techniques

Planning for a virtual class required that I balance the active teaching  and individual paint time. I decided to increase my active piece and provide you an opportunity to begin the exercises in class then continue to explore the exercises on your own during the week.  I will also be to provide feedback on individual paintings artists will bring to class.

I welcome suggestions so never hesitate to get in touch with me.
