Pastel Painting Techniques:

Indoor Scenes with People

​with Christine Ivers


April Program - Meredith Milstead

Plein Air Painting - Start to Finish

​with Meredith Milstead
 Meredith demonstrated techniques to achieve fresh, vibrant, colorful landscape and nature centered artworks au plein air using a process that does not include photographs or screen generated imagery. She talked about visiting the same location at least three times to learn to 'see' the view and to make a panoramic study, all the while working on composition and color harmony.  

​Thank you, Meredith! A lot to think about while enjoying the landscape. Meredith provided a great handout which you can download below.
