Instructor: Margaret Ferraro

Program Description

Those who love to draw will delight in this new, advanced workshop. Participants will use real life objects as the subjects for their drawings, with a shadow box and controlled lighting. You will be encouraged to take an unhurried, contemplative approach to plan your painting. Artists will create a full value drawing and work out composition problems. Participants will be mentored as they determine the level of detail required to transmute the drawing into pastel. Under the guidance of the master pastelist, you will experience the wonders of interpreting colour into greyscale in this exciting workshop!
