It’s always exciting to open a new box of pastels – so many mesmerizing colors and painting possibilities! Deciding which ones to choose and how to apply them can also be quite overwhelming!
Where do we begin? In this course, we will start simply, step-by-step, painting the expressive jewels of the landscape – flowers! Each lesson of the course begins with intent, creating a foundational layer, building a composition with basic shapes, and applying pastel palettes that harmonize to make each flower sing!

Who is this course for?

- face the problem of overworking the pastel medium, making muddy layers with too many details and no focus;
- want to know more about applying proper color values and achieve the harmony of colors in their works;
- wish to feel more confident when both painting with pastels and sharing the results of their work with others.
