For six consecutive weeks, spend Friday mornings learning how to use soft pastels with artist Jeneane Lunn. Using the techniques of the Impressionist painters, students will work to capture the changing light effects of nature in the tropical environment of the Roger Williams Park Botanical Center greenhouses, or weather permitting, in the outdoor Winter Garden. Soft pastels are a great medium for doing small studies or finished work. This class will offer an easy technique for starting pastels that you can develop into your own finished pieces of art. Our focus will be on increasing our perception of color to create more and more complex, beautiful layers of color while enjoying the serenity of the garden.
This series is appropriate for students of all levels. Materials will be provided. Bring your lunch for a time of hanging out talking art following the class.

A friendly heads up to Park-goers: Maple and Pine avenues at Cladastris Avenue are temporarily closed for approximately 4-6 weeks, limiting vehicle access to Park Avenue via FC Greene Memorial Boulevard. 

This temporary closure makes way for boardwalk construction at Cunliff Lake, a public access project that will enhance recreational opportunities at Roger Williams Park!

During this period, traffic will be detoured to park entrance and exit locations at Broad Street and Montgomery Avenue and Elmwood Avenue. Drivers using the Elmwood Avenue exit will follow Cladastris Avenue to FC Greene Memorial Boulevard to Linden Avenue to Elmwood Avenue south to Park Avenue east. Those using the Broad Street and Montgomery Avenue exit will follow Cladastris Avenue to Montgomery Avenue to Broad Street south to Warwick Avenue south to Park Avenue west.

Pedestrian and bicycle access will remain open. However, visitors are advised to follow posted signage and respect all barriers, as a crane will be active weekdays from 7AM to 3PM.
