Dawn Emerson Workshop - March 18-20, 2026

​Dawn Emerson is definitly energetic and enthused about art.  The minutes and hours of her workshop went by fast.  It was like flipping through the pages of a book.  We tried more than one artistic technique over the three days.  First, she quickly demonstrated, and then we learned by doing. There was little time to lollygag.  We learned about painting with pan pastels using a large wedge shaped sponge.  We made color wheels with pan pastels using just primary colors with black and white.  She taught us about transfer drawings, monotypes, and scratch drawings.  We used brayers, stencils, brushes, steel wool, pan pastels, stick pastels, and water mixable oil paints.  There were probably other things covered, which I cannot remember.  A fun time was had including a celebration Dawn Emerson’s birthday.
