Students will learn to layer soft pastels until the color is rich and illuminated. Keeping subject matter simple allows students to concentrate on technique. Edge work, composition, rich texture and color impact are some of the skills students will practice in class and at home. Participants will be painting impressionistic images of shiny ceramics with colorful fruit and pastries. All levels will be involved with glazing, blending and layering to build tone and strengthen value recognition. Printed still life references will be furnished. Liz will give daily demonstrations and informative critiques. www.lizkenyon.com

According to Liz, "Art is my second language. I use color, form and texture to connect with others, and keep my still life subjects fun and simple”. Visit Liz at her website www.lizkenyon.com
