Pastels are a wonderful medium to sketch with and can be a liberating experience for everyone. We only need to watch a child with crayons to understand the freedom of applying colors to paper. One can also build with layers of colors to create a picture of great atmosphere and depth. In this workshop, open to all levels, you’ll learn the art of pastel painting working in different locations around Provincetown.
There are many techniques one can learn, and we explore different approaches so we can find what works best for us. The workshop is ideal for individuals interested in a relaxed approach to working outdoors, while utilizing the accessible and satisfying medium of chalk pastels, a tradition going back thousands of years.

There are demonstrations each day and examples of how the masters used pastels, from the cave drawings at Lascaux to Matisse's sublime landscape sketches.
