Pastel Workshop with Ann Steer

WEDNESDAY’S PASTEL ART WORKSHOPS With ANN STEER

Ever wanted to learn to paint?  Pastels are a wonderful medium, whether you are a beginner or want to learn new techniques please join me.  This 7-week course will give you a great understanding of all aspects of pastel painting.  I am a pastel artist and paint our wonderful coastal beaches.   I will guide you what brand of pastel to use when and where and what colour board to use for each individual painting.

When:            Term Dates:  11 July to 22 August 2018

Where:           Frendz Art and Craft Supplies, Pensacola Terrace, Clarkson

Price:             $165 for 7 weeks – Choose from morning or afternoon session

 

Session 1 – Wednesday Mornings – 10am to 12 noon

Session 2 – Wednesday Afternoons – 1pm to 3pm

My classes start from a position of encouraging students to paint in their own style.  I strongly encourage people to view images and translate what they see in their own special way.  I am passionate about colour and will show you how to use it to enhance your work.  I will encourage you to try new things, and push you out of your comfort zone by experimenting with new techniques.  As a teacher, I am generous in sharing knowledge and provide you with live demonstrations. Above all, this is a class to have fun painting what we are passionate about.

During the term you will learn:

  • About capturing the perfect composition
  • Using the correct colour palette
  • How to capture brilliant light into your paintings and create wonderful depth from a good understanding of colour, tone, perspective and form.
  • How to use shadows to create undulating waves, understanding what colours to use for creating wet and dry sand, adding footprints in the sand and the various techniques for plant foliage depending on the season and time of day.
  • The way to create dynamic waves, the use of shadow and light to capture various wave formations and painting the difference between deep water and shallow water.
  • How to create mood and atmosphere in your stormy sky and sunset paintings
