About the Class
This pastels class will offer exposure to one of the most expressive mediums in an artist’s toolkit. This 6-week series with Andrea Gianchiglia is your chance to really dig into what they can do. Each week builds on the last, with Andrea guiding you through a fresh challenge designed to push your skills forward.
Discussions and demos cover the full range of what makes pastel work sing: color theory, proportion, drawing fundamentals, texture, and layering. Andrea walks through each concept step by step, so whether you’re relatively new to pastels or coming in with some experience, you’ll leave every session with something concrete to show for it — and something new to think about.
This is a rare opportunity to spend six weeks in focused study with an experience instructor, in the kind of small, serious-but-relaxed class environment that actually lets you grow. Spots fill fast.
Tuesdays, July 14 – August 18 | 1pm–3:30pm | 6 sessions | All levels welcome
