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.

#GivingTuesday2025 is just around the corner, and we get it โ€“ there are so many wonderful local nonprofits seeking support this time of year!

Why include Roger Williams Park Conservancy in your giving plan? 

Behind the more than 50 free and low-cost programs hosted every year, the restoration of beloved historic structures still playing a role in the community today, and the expansive green spaces and waterways sustaining humans and wildlife alike, there are crucial partnerships and much hard work that goes into stewarding Roger Williams Park.

As Board Member Chris Lanen shares โ€“ and so many families can relate to! โ€“ "the Park provides [a] retreat into nature. Individually, it gives me a place to exercise and decompress. As a parent, it gives my child a magical place to play, explore, and learn throughout the year.โ€

Find the link to donate in our bio, with options for one-time or recurring gifts!
