A Virtual Soft Pastel Painting Class offered by the Rehoboth Art League

REHOBOTH BEACH, DE – While we are enjoying more time at home lately, we have an opportunity to further enjoy our environment by noticing the lovely late spring splashes of color around us. Here is your chance to capture it, working in soft pastel. Using the Zoom platform, the Rehoboth Art League is offering the online class “Soft Pastel in Your Own Backyard” on Wednesday mornings, June 10 through 24 from 10 a.m. to Noon. In small studies, the class will concentrate on sketching in their own backyard. Students will explore the amazing variety of greens that surround us in the trees, bushes, and other plants, while considering the color mixing in pastel that create all those greens. The class will also discuss clouds, skies, flowers, buildings, texture, and possible color combinations best to express them. The instructor, local artist Dolores Andrew will explain the suggested order of planning a composition, alternate surfaces to use in pastel, and safe ways to store finished pastels. The cost of the three-week class is $90.00 per person.

Registration is required for all classes. To register go to www.rehobothartleague.org or contact the Art League’s Education Programs Director at paula@rehobothartleague.org or 302-227-8408 3xt. 112. All registered students will receive an invitation by email the day before the class with a link to join the class on Zoom. To use Zoom you just need an internet connected computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone and a webcam or built-in camera on your computer as well as a computer microphone.
