Soft Pastels in the Greenhouses & Winter Garden in the RWP Botanical Center

Soft Pastels in the Greenhouses & Winter Garden 

at the RWP Botanical Center (5 sessions)

Fridays, February 28th – April 4th (no class March 28th),

10:00 – 12:30

Learn how to use soft pastels with artist Jeneane Lunn during five (5) in-person sessions.

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.

Bring your lunch for a time of hanging out talking art following the class.
