Working in Smithsonian gardens to capture colors in nature and their interaction with light, students learn Cezanne’s color-blocking style to achieve the brilliant and subtle effects characteristic of the medium. The workshop includes demonstrations and lectures on color theory, color mixing, optical 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. A supply list may be downloaded from this page no later than 2 weeks prior to the first session.
