Painting Waves & Rocky Coastline with Soft Pastels
Instructed by Lana Ballot
August 9th and 10th, 10AM-4PM
$350-materials not included (2 day workshop)
Waves crashing against the rocks is one of the most interesting subjects to paint
if you love the ocean! In this workshop, you will learn how to capture the
energy of the crashing waves, their airy foam and mist picked up by the
wind, the wet surface of the rocks sparkling in the bright sun.. You will learn
how to paint translucent waves, convincing rocks with volume and texture and
how to make them look wet and sparkling in the sun.
In two projects, we will compare the cooler crisp colors of the coastline during
the day and much warmer colors of the ocean and the shoreline at the sunset.
Students are welcome to use the provided reference photos or they can use
their own reference.
Open to all skill levels. For your convenience, you may register online:

In this workshop, "Illuminating the Portrait: Building Form with Paint," we'll dive into the classical method of underpainting, focusing on how to sculpt form and light using just two pigments: lead white and raw umber. Working over a dark ground, you'll learn how to model light with precision, gradually building up the structure of the face through careful observation and deliberate mark-making.
