​Make Ugly Beautiful with Pastels 

​Are you wondering why there is a boring (might even call it ugly) photo advertising this art class? I've got the answer! So often we make art inspired by a lovely place, an object, a photo, etc., but why not give yourself more of a challenge? How about take the most boring/ugly image you can find (or use one of my many!) and make it beautiful, interesting, fun, or exciting! Do you think I can make these thick wires coming out of my white wall and a dog-hair-covered dog bed beautiful? You'll have to wait to find out! I think I can do it!!!!

Check out the smiling Zoom faces below and join us for a fun, engaging Tuesday morning making pastel paintings.  The camaraderie of this online class offers a unique opportunity to bring your art to a higher level by brainstorming with each other. ​

Suggested supplies to have on hand:
  • Some type of pastel paper about 11" x 14". I absolutely LOVE PastelMat. You can buy it in single sheets or pads.
  • Soft pastels and hard pastels. I use and recommend Unison hand-rolled soft pastels and Prismacolor (hard) pastels.​
  • A surface (table, board, or easel) to work on.
  • Either the image I email you to work from or one of your own.
  • A smooth non-textured rag (I use a soft t-shirt cut up to about 4” x 6”) and/or pastel blending sticks, tortillons.​
  • A good cup of coffee, tea, or hot cocoa to savor as you create.
