About this event

Description

BEGINNING DRAWING WITH PASTELS/ Jamie Ballay
Fridays from 10AM - 1PM
June 27 - August 158 Weeks

This class will explore the creative process of making images using pastel and charcoal. Students will work on a variety of subjects including still life, landscape, portraits. These will be our starting point for exploring picture making, learning about composition, form, proportion, and color. The goal is to gain confidence and finesse in drawing from observation while leaving room for imagination. Working in charcoal and pastel will allow you to focus on quickly creating form and easily exploring color. The sessions will begin with a focus on a quick and gestural approach that over the weeks will lead to more developed and considered drawings. Throughout the sessions Jamie will do some in class demonstrations. He will also do some drawing along with the class, because sharing in the work builds rapport and demystifies the process of creation. View the supply list here
