Art Room

$100: all materials furnished except sanded paper which is available from the instructor at cost.

You will love pastels: an adventure in pure color! A soft pastel stick is pure color with a binder. Pastels have the highest concentration of pure color of all painting media – oils, acrylics, watercolors. A pastel painting is made by sliding the stick over a rough sanded surface in layers and with blending. The rough granules of the paper allow for refraction of light without darkening.

Julie will offer this class to Villagers with all materials furnished except for the sanded paper which she will sell to you at her cost.

She will have available the soft pastels sticks in a wide variety of colors, stiff brushes for rare erasing, aluminum foil to catch pastel dust and Gloves-in-a-Bottle. Arts & Crafts will furnish these items as part of the Art Room supplies: easels, backing boards, masking tape and rags.

You may bring your own pastels, if you wish, and any other supplies you want to bring.
