This workshop will cover the fundamentals of landscape painting in pastel, including composition, values, masses, focal points, edges, drawing, and color. Pastel's consistent colors lend themselves naturally to outdoor studies and indoor studio work, and Chavez feels that working from life is the best way to develop your skills and gain the necessary knowledge to improve your landscape work. Weather permitting, the class will work outdoors every day, creating small pastel field studies. Lorenzo will demonstrate and will offer individual attention and critiques.
