Pastel Painting Scenes of the National Parks

During this course, we will be painting scenes from reference photos from my collection of pictures that I have taken in many of the National Parks in Canada, and Patagonia, Chile.  Students may paint using their own photos as well. We will cover many of the techniques needed to paint these breathtaking vistas including mountains, rivers, streams, skies, trees, rocks, atmospheric perspective, grasses, and wildlife. Come and learn about this wonderful rich color pastel medium for painting scenes of our most beautiful natural treasures.
