Class Description

Description

In this class I will be teaching the students key concepts about how to draw and paint landscapes in a variety of habitats using Pastels as our main medium but will integrate other media as well to add interest and fun to our learning processes. 

What to Bring:

Materials list:

  • Paper: If you want to really experience the full potential of Pastels I would highly recommend investing in some Pastelmat..it can be painted on as well as accepts pastels beautifully but it is expensive. Otherwise, since much of our time spent will be experimental you can actually use less expensive papers such as print-making paper or sketch paper. Rives BFK and Stonehenge papers work well.
  • Pastels: I will use PanPastel, pastel sticks and soft pastels. There is quite a range of pastels and they can be quite expensive so if you’re not sure of whether or not you’d like to invest in them, I will have a range of pastels in class for you to experiment with and you can then decide which ones you prefer. Actually, Blick’s brand of chalk pastels are nice and they would be a good starter set.
  • Other mediums: Sumi ink, charcoal, colored pencil, wax pastels. These are all additional mediums we will use for adding accents and marks. If you have any of these at home, bring them along. I will bring in my own supply to show you how they work to build interest in our pieces.
  • Stencils: I have tons of patterned stencils which I will bring to show you how they can be integrated into the art pieces…they add another dimension of interest and plus they’re really fun!
Additional Materials

  • Black charcoal pencils
  • Kneaded eraser
  • Brayer: for mark-making and drawing. They come in different sizes such as 1.5”, 2”, 2.5”, and 3”. I like using the 1.5”, 2” and 2.5” so those would be good sizes to have. You really only need one, though so I would start with a 2” or 2.5”.
  • Texture makers: I have a bunch of silicon rubber tools which have cut edges in different types of patterns which are fun to use to add textures into wet media. I will bring mine so you don’t need to purchase any of those.
