Create loose and expressive paintings of spring scenery in Ontario 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 landscapes, from spring flowers and dewy mornings to farm fields with golden grasses and patches of melting snow. Maria will demonstrate techniques such as underpainting, layering, blending and colour mixing for participants to understand how to achieve depth in their work, and will talk about all the important elements of a successful composition. Step-by-step support combined with proactive and positive critique will enable participants to master this amazing medium.
