Painting Hills & Fog with Pastels & an Underpainting Pastel Workshop with Jim Tyler
January 6, 2023 10:30 am - 4:30 pm
Art Central, 1329 Monterey St, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401, USA
In this Art Central workshop, we'll explore several methods for creating underpaintings. Then you'll select your favorite method and we'll proceed to paint this scene of hills and fog. We'll cover all of the basics for applying pastels, and how to layer and blend pastels while showcasing the underpainting. This is an instructor-led class with demonstrations each step of the way. All experience levels welcome.
When: Friday, January 6th from 10:30 am - 4:30 pm
Cost: $85
What you should bring (supplies available at Art Central):
- Your pastel set. Limited sets of pastels are available for rent through Art Central
- Two sheets of 11" x 14" sanded paper, like UArt 400-500 grit, plus some scrap sanded paper. Attach the paper to foam core using artists' tape or clamps. I'll email an example of the sketch for this scene so that everyone can have the drawing done before the workshop starts. Optionally, [Jim Tyler] can provide the pre-sketched paper for $25 and you'll just have to bring the mounting board.
- A small metal can, like a tuna fish can.
- Acetone and/or denatured alcohol. [Jim Tyler] will have spare acetone.
- A cheap paintbrush that's about 1" wide.
- A rag to wipe your fingers
- Several packing peanuts or a few paper towels for blending.
What [Jim Tyler] will provide:
- A reference photo for each student.
- Tables, chairs, and table easels.
