Class Description
Sometimes a landscape tells more than just a story of place—it stirs emotion. In this class, you’ll paint a quiet yet powerful moment where a lone tree stands watch on a rocky outcrop, like a sentry at dusk. Using soft pastels, we’ll bring this imagined atmosphere to life.
🎨 What You’ll Learn in This Class:
🌅 Changing the Mood – Discover how to shift the atmosphere of a scene to evoke a specific feeling or narrative.
☁️ Creating Custom Skies – Learn how to add your own clouds and control the mood of the sky with simple pastel techniques.
🌤️ Brightening the Scene – Find out how to inject light and life into your landscape by enhancing color and contrast in key areas.
🪨 Simplifying Rock Textures – Learn how to suggest complex rock formations without getting bogged down in unnecessary detail.
✂️ What to Leave Out – Master the skill of artistic editing by understanding which elements add value and which can be left out to create focus.
Whether you’re new to pastels or want to expand your storytelling through landscapes, this class will give you both the technical tools and the creative vision to transform simple reference scenes into meaningful artwork.
Join me and let’s paint a scene that speaks volumes in silence.
