Gaining Mastery in Pastel


​​Nancy began by emphasizing the importance of establishing a strong foundation from the outset and finding the story you want to convey to your audience. We used simple tools to crop reference photos and explore subjects from new perspectives. She stressed the value of value studies, as they force you to think critically about your artistic process. Nancy's underpainting techniques included using a combination of alcohol and watercolor, as well as watercolor alone.

The entire three-day workshop was highly educational and enjoyable, thanks to Nancy Nowak's extraordinary knowledge, generosity, and skill as an instructor. Thank you, Nancy, for this wonderful learning experience.
