Michael is offering a class in pastel painting to begin the new year. Starting in January, a Thursday morning class will be offered at City Art, 1224 Lincoln St. in the Vista in downtown Columbia. Class meets once a week for 6 consecutive weeks. The class is $200 and limited to 8 students.
In this 6 week class, Michael will discuss how to plan a good composition and create a focal point of interest before starting. Michael will demonstrate how to softly build and blend colors together to suggest as much or as little detail as you desire. Creating texture and depth in your work will be demonstrated. His working methods will be broken down into a step-by-step process that takes the confusion out of painting in pastel.
Class Schedule:
Thursday, January 19- Thursday, February 23.
This class will meet once a week from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and will run for 6 weeks. Fee: $200.
