Tucson Pastel Society Sponsored Workshops 

We are committed to nurturing the artistic growth of our members, and creating awareness of the versatility and value of pastel fine art in our community by annually sponsoring professional fine art pastel artists at intensive workshops in Tucson.  Registration is open on a first come, first serve basis, based on a completed registration and PayPal payment date. 

Cancellations must be in writing in a letter or email to the workshop contact. A full refund will be given if cancellation is received by the contact 14 days prior to the start date of the workshop. Refunds after 14 days prior to the workshop will only occur if the Tucson Pastel Society cancels the workshop due to low participation. Payments made through PayPal will be refunded prior to the 14 day deadline minus the PayPal fee.

​All workshops held at the TPS Art Center, 2447 N. Los Altos, Tucson, AZ 85705

Simplifying for Strength

Do you want to draw people to YOUR painting from across the room? Do you find your self getting lost painting the details? No matter your style of mark making, simplifying design and value structure will strengthen your painting.
​
Let's dive into the power of values and composition in this three day studio workshop. We will also explore color, temperature shifts, edges, and learn how to self critique our work.

We will work hard and have fun doing it!
