Pastel Painting for Everyone!

Alicia Geilenebrg – Drakiotes will be teaching pastel classes for a series of 6 weeks on Tuesdays from 10:30-12:30 starting on October 11 and going through November 15 at the Jaffrey Civic Center.

Beginning and intermediate pastel painters will explore the vibrance of the broken color technique. Paintings are created in layers on a textured surface which allows wonderful manipulation of the pastel medium. 

Art will be created on 9 x12 or 11 x 14 inch Wallis or Art Spectrum boards. Students will experience using a variety of pastel techniques including: under painting, color techniques, layering of hard & soft pastels. Students will work from their own reference photos. Previous introduction to pastels and some drawing knowledge is helpful.

I will have some Nu PAstel and Rembrandt Pastels for underpainting ( but you will probably want a set to do your beginning painting with) for those who have not been able to procure them. Soft Pastels should be: Great American, Winsor Newton, Schminke or Unison. These can be readily ordered through online suppliers such as ASW, Dick Blick, Jerrys Artarama, etc.

Also, Roy's on Main St in Jaffrey, near the Jaffrey Civic Center, will have NuPAstels, Winsor Newton pastels, Wallis Board & paper and other supplies as well that are on the supply list!

For those shopping at The Color Store & More on Main St in Wilton, NH, mention this class and get a student’s discount on pastel class supplies!

Please bring a snack or lunch. Class fee is $110 for the series or $23 a class.
