Techniques for painting birds in pastels.
This workshop is for pastel painters who are at least advanced beginners or beyond and have completed several paintings in pastels. The students must be familiar with and have used the three hardnesses of pastels and the different types of pastel paper.
The theme for the workshop will be techniques for painting birds in their natural environment, however these techniques can also be used for a variety of other subjects. The instructor, Don Osterberg, will demonstrate variations of underpaintings, blurred backgrounds, atmospheric perspectives, and the blocking in and final detailing that can be used for painting birds.
All equipment and supplies will be provided by the student. This should include a basic selection of artist grade hard, medium, and soft pastels and anything you use with them for painting. Also, at least four 9” x 12” sheets of artist grade ( ie, UArt or Art Spectrum) white or off-white pastel paper with medium or 600 grit texture, and a backing board and tape. If you prefer using an easel and you have a portable tabletop one, bring it. If not, we do have some simple tabletop easels at Art Place.
During the workshop the students will be encouraged to share their painting methods and techniques. The workshop will be informal, and the takeaways will be a collaboration of techniques from everyone.
Please bring a variety of colored pictures of birds that you can choose from to paint. At the end of the workshop the students may not have completed a painting but will have several paintings started that use different techniques. Also feel free to bring something to eat and drink during the 30-minute lunch break or you may leave to get something. If you have any questions, please e-mail me at dmosbo37@gmail.com
