Painting the Landscape in Chalk Pastel

Patricia Savage, Fine Artist

Our workshop begins with familiarizing ourselves with the landscape by limbering up with quick thumbnail sketches, breaking the landscape into simple shapes, and establishing the values.  Students learn the relationship between warm and cool colors, how to apply thin, multiple layers
of pigments, and how to use color and values to create depths of field.
