  Jacob Aguiar Workshop, Richmond, VA
   October 7-9, 2023


Have you just started painting in pastels and want to expedite your learning, or are you an  experienced pastelist looking to change things up in a friendly but challenging environment?  In this workshop, Jacob Aguiar will guide you through his process of creating drama in pastel landscape paintings.  This is accomplished from the early planning stages, such as choosing appropriate reference material, composition, and format, through to the final notes of color and marks added to finish a piece.  Focusing on the foundations of successful representational art, including composition, values, color, and drawing; and including specific exercises such as creating notans, small color studies, and underpainting techniques, Jacob will take you through the process of producing landscape paintings in pastel.  Each day will include one demo, followed by ample time for students to paint with assistance from Jacob at their easels.  

Jacob Aguiar is a nationally recognized pastel artist living in Boxford, MA with his wife Laura, son Henry, and daughter Lucy.  He splits his time between painting inspiring local landscapes and practicing naturopathic medicine.  He has won several pastel awards including awards in the 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 Pastel 100 competitions, and Best of Show at the 2016 Pastel Society of New Hampshire annual exhibition.  He has exhibited in galleries throughout the US, including Jackson Hole, Wyoming and exhibited at the Brinton Museum in Big Horn, Wyoming.  A signature member of the Pastel Society of America, he teaches online through Patreon, as well as at workshops throughout the country.
