Course Description

RISD CE pastels course

Capturing brilliant foliage, transient transparent clouds and sun-dappled water on paper is the focus of this two-day pastel workshop, taught by noted pastel artist Jeanne Sturim. Students explore methods for translating the lush and varied landscape of Narragansett Bay into vibrant pastel paintings. Jeanne demonstrates her unique technique of pastel painting using a watercolor underpainting as set-up for layering the pastels. Students, through an initial field sketch, sharpen their powers of observation and learn how to accurately see value relationships and color harmonies when painting on location. Emphasis is on perspective, composition, value, atmosphere and painting the effects of light in pastel. Work is done both on site and in the studio. All levels of students are invited to experience working from the landscape with this highly portable medium.
