This 5 week class is a focus on portraiture in pastel and is for the student who is familiar with pastels. The basics of portraiture and composition will be covered. Students will work from photographs or self-portraiture. Light and shadow are what it's all about. What to look for, establishing composition, and how to apply pastels are all part of the program. Goff teaches students how to make paintings come to life by building colors on a dark surface. There will be a Demo each day. Students will draw each day with advice, critiques and philosophy from Nancy. There will be appropriate hand-out sheets throughout the course to guide you. Her method is direct and her enthusiasm for the pastel medium is contagious. http://ngoffthestudio.com/
