1 DAY WORKSHOP - INTRODUCTION TO PASTEL - (studio)
Never painted in pastel but would like to try? This one-day workshop serves as an introduction to pastel painting. Join Michael Chesley Johnson, PSA, PSNM, as he leads you on a fun "hands-on" tour of the world of pastel. Experiment with different surfaces and brands of pastel and learn different techniques. You'll discover what an easy medium this is to work with!
 
5 DAY WORKSHOP - PAINT THE LANDSCAPE IN PASTEL (plein air)
Join Michael Chesley Johnson, PSA, PSNM, as he paints the Sedona "Red Rock Country" in pastel on-location. You'll learn his approach of first "abstracting" the landscape quickly and expressively with just a few values and colors and then adding as much realism as desired with more accurate color and strokes.
You'll learn the fundamentals of "plein air" painting including Carlson's principles of value and color in the landscape. Michael will also show you his advanced techniques for creating small studies and "loosening" up your technique.
