When painting landscapes we must interpret color and identify what we are actually seeing. Join us for guidance in discovering how soft pastels are an amazing medium where you can layer and mix colors to create contrast through light and shadow to bring a scene to life.

Holding our workshop at the Nimick Family Education Center provides us with such a beautiful view of the Ligonier Valley, it is the perfect location to immerse ourselves in a nature-inspired morning.

You’ll learn the basics of creating stunning landscape paintings with soft pastels. We’ll cover topics such as color mixing, blending techniques, and how to add texture and depth to your work. We promise that you don’t have to start out as an experienced artist. Develop your own style with one-on-one assistance in a relaxed atmosphere.

Paying attention to the way the light reflects off objects and colors will help you capture the true essence of the scene. No previous experience is necessary to achieve lovely results.

Our creative time will be broken up with a break for refreshments.
