"Just a Dream" by Marla Baggetta
|
Marla Baggetta’s Loosen Up! pastel painting workshop is based on “100 Variations”, a pastel series featured in Pastel Journal, which marked a shift in Marla's career and became a metaphor for her life as an artist. By working on multiple pieces of the same composition students discover how to “loosen up” and push their boundaries as painters. Over the course of the workshop students will use the fundamentals of painting as the foundation as they explore the lessons that can be learned by immersing oneself into a theme. Some mixed media will be explored to foster a non-precious approach. This workshop will include demonstrations, individual mentoring and positive, actionable critiques.This is a fast paced lively workshop for both the beginner and experienced artist.
Short Course Description: Work multiple pieces of composition as you Loosen Up. Helping you grow past resistance and hesitation, Marla Baggetta uses foundational painting fundamentals in exploring the myriad lessons learned by immersing oneself in a theme. Fostering a playful approach, this fast-paced workshop includes some mixed media, demonstrations, individual mentoring, and positive actionable critiques.

"Exploring the Expressive Landscape"
A 3-day studio pastel landscape workshop with Lyn Asselta PSA, IAPS EP
In this fun, fast-paced workshop, we'll explore ways to create more effective, expressive landscape paintings by focusing on things like intent, mood, composition, color and atmosphere. Painting is so much more than just copying a photograph or trying to draw what we see in front of us! Using lots of short painting exercises along with a few longer painting sessions, you'll find new tools to help you make better decisions while you paint. Even more importantly, you'll learn new ways to think about your painting process. Be prepared to stretch your brain as well as your painting muscles!
