We present a series of online workshops showcasing “Pastel Innovations” introduced by Amazing Dawn Emerson (USA).
We will study innovative techniques for using dry and oily pastels and learn how to master the author's methodology and drawing skills. In addition to that, we will work with Pan Pastel. We will experiment with the original methods of transferring the objects’ energy and merge pastel with other techniques.
I strive to merge abstraction with realism.
“I don’t care about photographic accuracy,” explains Dawn Emerson describing her art approach. “My art is my way to interpret emotions through some strokes and detail, and abstraction allows me to do that.”
These online workshops are phenomenal and embody a unique and unexpected approach. We guarantee that you have never experienced pastels this way! Join us by signing up right away, it will definitely be worth it!
