Meeting Location
Cultural Arts Center-Glen Allen 2880 Mountain Rd. Glen Allen, VA 23060 |
Our program theme for 2017-18 will be "Color in Pastels", exploring a different color topic at each meeting. We will use a varied approach to explore color theory as it relates to pastel painting, with brief demonstrations, book reviews, and break-out sessions to further explore the topic through discussion, practice, critiques, and other methods.
Basic supplies of precut 5x7 Canson paper and pastels will be provided for group exercises; feel free to supplement with your own supplies. These links on color wheels and grayscale might help get you started:
