Class Description

Description

Learn how underpainting techniques can introduce depth, visual energy, and visual unity into your pastel compositions. In this focused one-day intensive workshop led by instructor Heather Quay, discover how strategic underlying color choices can influence the development and character of your finished piece.

During the morning session, you will investigate four distinct color application methods for underpaintings and observe how your initial color choices establish visual harmonies, create tensions, and ultimately shift the overall mood once the final pastel layers are applied to the surface. In the afternoon portion of the class, you will apply these insights to a new artwork, selecting the approach that most resonates with your artistic vision.

Each participant receives individualized feedback and personalized guidance from the instructor. This workshop is recommended for pastel artists who have developed some foundational experience. A comprehensive materials list will be provided prior to the class start date.
