Event Details
Join artist Gianne de Genevraye as she teaches a Level 2 pastel class for intermediate to advanced participants. There will be discussion on a broader palette of warm/cool color, contrast color, secondary compliments, composition possibilities, background solutions, and negative space concept. The realization of one or two final drawings that incorporate the above techniques will be commented by Gianne. Participants are expected to be familiar with and have practiced the Level 1 techniques, such as complementary colors, what negative space is, the difference between warm and cool colors, and some simple composition elements.
