Working from still-life arrangements reminiscent of Cezanne’s in studio sessions, students learn to achieve the brilliant and subtle effects characteristic of the medium. The workshop includes demonstrations, a brief film, lectures on color theory, color mixing, and composition. For inspiration and creative ideas, works by master pastel artists are viewed and discussed. Students may work in chalk or oil pastel, and should have basic drawing skills.
