Pastel Workshop: Mastering Composition in the Landscape with Katie Cassidy

Strong, engaging composition does not appear miraculously at the end of a painting; good composition is built from the beginning. With Katie’s guidance, this workshop will help you unravel the mystery of composition. Katie will take you through the steps of building a successful pastel painting: strong composition, value structure, engaging color, edges, and detail. Working from photos, the student will learn to simplify the subject through a series of notan thumbnails before starting their pastel painting. There will be lots of personal attention as well as group critiques. Katie will contact each student prior to the workshop with advice on photography as a subject matter. The students will work from their own photos – no professional photography is permitted. (Deadline to register is August 15)
