Create loose and expressive paintings of Southern Ontario scenery using the brilliant, blend-able and spontaneous medium of soft pastel. This forgiving medium is great for beginner painters and offers satisfying results. Learn how to capture different landscape scenes, seasons and lighting conditions typical to the region. Maria will also teach techniques such as underpainting, layering, blending and colour mixing by both demonstration and practice. The class will talk about all the important elements of a successful painting: Composition, values, aerial perspective, colour harmony, edges, texture and depth. Step-by-step demonstrations combined with proactive and positive critique will provide guidance as Maria provides lots of individual attention to help participants master this amazing medium and create at least one finished painting a week. This class is best suited to beginners with some experience and people with intermediate experience. Maria Iva is a signature member of the Pastel Artists Canada with a Master Pastelist designation
