Use layering, over toned surface, paint with pastels to cover the surface completely, then highlight with the softest buttery pastels.
Linda will demonstrate in all of the classes. A variety of subject matter will be used, along with many techniques. Various color schemes will be used to create vibrant and dynamic finished work. Discussions will include basic composition, value, color and temperature balance.
Classes are in four week sessions at a fee of $125.00 per session, payable at the first class in each session. The classes are on going and each class will add building blocks of information and techniques to advance your painting.

Handel's Messiah

A bit of editorial license here.  This is not related to art or SLWS, but I want to share with you this uplifting piece, that spans all religious persuasions and may give you a boost of heart during this busy time.  Enjoy Handel's Messiah in a "Flash Mob" setting.  (A flash mob is just what you will see here; an unexpected explosion of song or other actions.)  Turn up your volume.
