The Sky’s the Limit: Painting land, water, and sky with pastel workshop with Karen Israel

Learn to create effective landscape paintings that communicate your unique interpretation of the land and sky. We will explore composition, texture and reflections in all the elements of a landscape painting. Learn how to compose a scene, take color and value notes and then translate that information for a pastel painting in the studio. Weather permitting there will be some observation and note taking outdoors. You will learn how to interpret your photographs, simplify your design and layer colors that will give structure and harmony to your work.

Each day will begin with an instructive demo and there will be smaller more targeted demos interspersed as needed. All levels welcome!
