Contact me in email to discuss more, if you'd like. Thanks very much for the offer! The class was filled a few months ago, btw.Bill Conehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00852367461802236749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413012723295691207.post-50246995154646091472010-04-14T09:41:58.697-07:002010-04-14T09:41:58.697-07:00Hi Bill!

I am (or should be if paperwork went through!) one of the ones signed up for your course & I just wanted to introduce myself. Love your work, and I'm excited to learn more about pastels & observing light and color.<br />JennyJen Bettonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07568837141174126314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413012723295691207.post-24727314553520328162010-02-05T09:41:32.796-08:002010-02-05T09:41:32.796-08:00incredibly lovely workincredibly lovely workErik D.

The clas...Thanks all for your comments and support. The class is already half full. 6 more spots left to fill. <br /><br />Kevin, In response to your questions, yes, the workshop is suitable for someone with a limited experience in pastels. I focus a lot on learning to see colors and values without a lot of preconceptions. Pastels are direct, primitive, and simple in some respects. As you have a range of pre-mixed colors, it is more a question of seeing the correct values and colors (and shapes) that will translate into the limited palette one has. Control of edges and general strategies for laying down color are acquired through practice, and I will be giving demos every day.<br /><br />I might suggest to anyone who is interested in taking the workshop, to get the materials now, and explore with them. It will just accelerate your learning curve, and make the workshop that much more rewarding. A complete materials list is available on the link to the class that I posted. Feel free to ask any other questions, as well.Bill Conehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00852367461802236749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413012723295691207.post-88129649641788555322010-01-19T16:55:21.829-08:002010-01-19T16:55:21.829-08:00Great work as always.
