​Working LARGE in pastel. 

Picture

I painted this pastel many years ago on large, 22" x 30" paper. I'm now in the mood to paint water again, but this time, a house near the water. If that's not your thing, use your own idea and work from your own photo. Working large in pastel and  be extremely freeing!  Feel free to follow along with my photos or use on of your own! Email me with any questions at all: mary@marytelfer.com.

​Unwind, live in the moment, and have fun by painting with pastels. Make yourself a cup of coffee or tea and make art following along with the lesson/photo of the day, work from your own photo, or simply watch and paint later! The camaraderie of this online class offers a unique opportunity to bring your art to a higher level by brainstorming with each other. ​

​“At the deepest level, the creative process and the healing process arise from a single source. When you are an artist, you are a healer; a wordless trust of the same mystery is the foundation of your work and its integrity.” 
~ Rachel Naomi Remen, MD


Scientific studies have shown there is a connection between making art and reducing stress in your mind and body. Making art doesn't only make you feel better, it also creates tangible, physical changes in your body and brain.

In the scientific study, The Connection Between Art, Healing, and Public Health, Heather L. Stuckey, DEd and Jeremy Nobel, MD, MPH summarize ”art-based interventions are effective in reducing adverse physiological and psychological outcomes."​

Suggested supplies to have on hand:

  • A surface (table, board, or easel) to work on.
  • Either the image I email you to work from or one of your own.

  • A good cup of coffee, tea, or hot cocoa to savor as you create.
