Introduction to Painting Landscapes with Pastels with Nathan Pope

Participants will experiment with soft pastels and learn about the surfaces on which they can be used. The instructor will explain his steps for beginning a painting, including the underpainting process. We will practice various techniques of applying, layering, and blending the pastels. Participants will work on their own paintings during the workshop and should bring photos of landscape scenes. TAG will provide pastels, paper, and other supplies. Participants who have their own pastels are encouraged to bring them, but this is not required.
