“EXPLORATIONS IN TEXTURE: PAINTING WINTER GRASSES”

With JOELLE FELDMAN

PSC ZOOM Paint-along, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2025, 9 a.m.-Noon, MT 

11am ET | 10am CT | 9am MT | 8am PT

Joelle Feldman in her studio

Explore gestural underpainting with colored graphite as Joelle leads us through this freeing and fun technique for building texture. OR, if you’d rather not purchase new materials*, you can comfortably begin with alcohol-washed pastel. Joelle will demonstrate both underpainting options, as well as using a brayer with water soluble oils. She’ll then complete a grassy winter scene over the graphite start. 

Joelle teaches classes in Harvard, Massachusetts where she lives, as well as online. Though mostly self-taught, Joelle has studied with renowned artists such as Frank Federico, Liz Haywood Sullivan, Aline Ordman, Jeanne Rosier Smith, Carol Marine and Colin Page to name a few. Her work has won awards too numerous to list here. She is a juried signature member of four northeastern pastel societies, an associate member of the PSA and is represented by four galleries in Massachusetts and Maine.

*Colored graphite comes in blocks, lasts a long time and is not expensive. Small sets are available from Amazon with quick shipping. Online art stores carry individual blocks. Links will be included on the materials list.
