Pastels with Purpose

Weekday: Wednesday      
Time: 6-8pm       
Location: Library Meeting Room
Dates: Jan 17-Feb 21 (6 weeks)                   
Instructor: Kathleen Kelley

For ages 16+ (anyone under 18 must have a parent’s consent to participate)

A continuation of our Drawing for Yourself class, students learn to express themselves in true color, embracing the blended and soft lines of pastels. Learn color blending, layering, scumbling, and hatching to create inspired works of art. The addition of a new medium to your art practice opens neural pathways and promotes an overall sense of well-being, helping to prevent depression. These new skills bring self-confidence, boosted mood, and increased wellbeing. *
