DESCRIPTION: “Connecting Eyes, Heart, Hand: Amplifying YOUR Voice!”

A comprehensive overview of combining intuitive and artistic techniques to illustrate what you observe (eyes) with your emotional response (heart), in order to express it with your hand.

Strengthen your voice as a pastel painter in this 3-day intensive where you will dig deep into how to express your subjects using this intuitive approach while working with your unique voice. In this class you will be learning how to use the key principles of successful paintings to compliment your personal style. We will also explore materials, methods, and techniques to help you represent your subject. This is about learning to paint in your own unique voice—not a formula seeking to teach all students to paint the same way. Through discussion and abundant studio time, you will be learning your personal path toward being the one-of-a-kind artist that you are.
