Soft pastels are a dry, pure pigment that allows you to create colorful, expressive marks with beautiful soft effects. Pastel pencils can achieve high levels of detail. They can be used alone or with other media, such as water and alcohol, to achieve different effects. You'll begin by learning value, color layering, and other fun techniques. You'll also learn how to protect and frame your pieces. Then, in the last two classes, you'll bring an 8x10 reference photo as your instructor guides you through creating your own unique pastel masterpiece.
