Asselta, Lyn
Registration is currently open to Pastel Society of Tampa Bay Members ONLY. Registration will be open to the public on September 1.
Every good painting tells a story. In this two-day workshop, students will explore the connection between the story you want to tell and the choices you make throughout the painting process. Knowing how to be clear about what you want to say will give you the information you need to set up a good composition, to choose a format that enhances your narrative, to make successful editing choices and to choose a color palette. Lyn will guide you through this process and will give you the tools you will need to go from simply copying a reference photo to creating a painting with something to say.
*Since this is a 2-day class, it will move too quickly for beginners. Students must at least have knowledge of basic underpainting techniques and must be familiar with using sanded papers.
