Instructor Artist: Karen Israel
Join award-winning pastel artist Karen Israel for an immersive workshop capturing the subtle grace of pears.
Under Karen’s expert guidance, you’ll start by sketching your pear composition on a pre-treated gator board. Using provided samples or your own references, Karen will lead you step-by-step through the process of applying and blending soft pastels to capture the form of pears in a harmonious composition. Additionally, Karen will share invaluable tips on protecting and framing your finished masterpiece. Please bring vinyl gloves if you prefer to keep your hands clean during the creative process.
You’ll leave with a ready-to-frame pastel painting up to 9″ x 12″ in size.
Refreshments will be served, and the gallery will be open for your enjoyment. Cheers!
