PASTEL DRAWING WORKSHOP

I've been teaching a pastel drawing class at the Fine Arts Institute for the last few weeks (it's a 6 week class).  The artists in the class are doing outstanding work.  Here are some of the pieces they have produced so far.  Well done!

COLOR STRINGS

TINA MCGINNIS

practiced making tints and shades of the three primary colors, three secondary colors and the tertiary colors.  These color strings are very well done with watercolor.  Mixing a range of tints and shades of all the hues in the spectrum is a wonderful practice.  You'll learn a great deal about color mixing.  Doing these studies will not replace your study of color from the live subject, but it will help to make you more familiar with your palette and the way colors interact with eachother.

FINALLY... a new post!

I haven't posted the student work for some time now, so I do apologize for the delay!  We're into our 8th week for both the beginning class on Tuesday evenings and for the Advanced Saturday class where we are studying the figure. Everyone is working very hard and it shows! Here are a few images of both classes.
