Enjoy the outdoors and take your painting beyond the four walls of a classroom in the Pastel On-Site Landscape Painting workshop with Patti Pease Johnson from 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Saturday at Volcano Art Center Ni‘aulani Campus in Volcano Village.
You’ll receive step by step instruction in a proven rotational method for success, starting with form and fill, moving to value of black and white, then color. Your own natural style is brought to the surface. All materials will be supplied along with guidance and inspiration for your creative journey.
Initial discussion includes pastels types, papers, fixing and mounting. Then, use newsprint to get the flow of arm movements to keep loose. Next, you’ll form shapes, and move into colors on sanded pastel paper. Learn to exaggerate and be bold with colors, and the value of using the lightest lights and the darkest darks. Grow your knowledge of composition, color and correcting problems.
Students will complete one 9×12-inch project. Weather permitting, the workshop will take place outdoors at Ni‘aulani. Otherwise, the workshop will be held indoors.
Cost for the workshop is $50/$45 for VAC Members plus a $10 supply fee per person. Beginner and intermediate artists are welcome. For more information, call Volcano Art Center at 967-8222, or visit http://volcanoartcenter.org.
