| Pastel is perhaps one of the most versatile and expressive mediums available.

The process of building color and capturing light to achieve balance and simplicity is discovered through a series of structured exercises which expose students to form, composition, value and color theory. Working from photographs, combined with demonstration and discussion, students build confidence and skill with each session. Group critique creates a shared enthusiasm for the process of art making for artists of all skill levels. |

| Create your own custom surfaces for digital printing using specialized inkjet receptive coatings called digital grounds. InkAID® is the most familiar, but now Golden Paints® has a line of new products for you. You will learn how to coat, tint and texturize assorted papers as well as nonporous surfaces. These products allow you to explore a variety of materials from delicate rice papers to spun polyester and digital transfers. The class includes preparation of surfaces, creating digital transfers and a demonstration on how to properly handle and print using an inkjet printer. Discussion will also include compatibility of mixed media with these coatings. Drying times will vary; therefore, prepared materials will be taken home for printing. |
