WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

It has been said that as artists we are either moving toward or away from abstraction. No matter where we fall on this journey we can all benefit from ideas to help us create more expressive paintings. Karen strives to interpret my subject by including my own personal touch rather than copying the reference or painting exactly what she sees. The workshop will introduce Karen’s discoveries that have helped her paint in a more expressive, “loose” manner. She will introduce a simple method for a successful pastel painting from the planning stage to the addition of those final important spices! Students will explore the use of two different underpainting techniques and how they contribute to more expressive pastel paintings. There will be demos, handouts and plenty of individual help at the easel during the workshop.
