This session is filled. Stay tuned for the next session, Sept. 9, '25 
Pastel Expressions: Open to All Media

There’s something sacred about the light at the edges of the day. Whether it’s the soft hush of dawn or the fiery drama of dusk, these moments are fleeting—and unforgettable.

​In this pastel session, we’ll explore how to capture that glow. You’ll learn how to layer color, build atmosphere, and create luminous skies that feel alive.

We'll work from reference images, including a few of my own, and you’ll be invited to find your own "chasing light" moment to bring to life. Whether it’s sunrise or sunset… that’s up to you.

We'll have our own private Facebook group to exhibit and discuss our work. 
“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

There’s something universal about a sunrise or sunset—it always stops us in our tracks. In this pastel session, we’ll chase that fleeting light and learn to capture its magic. Whether your skies are soft and subtle or bold and blazing, you’ll come away with art that glows from within.

​Suggested supplies to have on hand (although to be clear, you can attend this class using the 2-D medium of your choice):
  • Some type of pastel paper about 11" x 14". I absolutely LOVE PastelMat. It comes in dark color choices. 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. 
​
​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. ​
