This introductory course presents the materials, techniques, and appropriate supports for drawing with soft pastel. Students will study from historical palettes, beginning with limited color and expanding to a broader range. Instruction will address pastel box organization for an expansive use of color and alternative wet techniques and mediums. Paper color and surface will be integral to the process, and students will learn how to prepare their own pastel grounds. Along with observational study of the still life and portrait model, students may work from personal sketches, paintings, memory, photography, and recognized artworks. Projects will encourage exploration and experimentation in individual ways.  Note: Tuition includes $25 models fee.  

Optional: This course is available for 1.0 undergraduate credit for $620 (including models fee). Select credit option with price adjustment when registering.
