Learn from one of our greatest local art masters using either soft pastels or oil paint. In Oil painting, Mireille will teach how to compose, mix paint, soften edges, and paint in layers. She uses the technique of Chiaroscuro and the technique of wet-on-wet. Additionally, you have the option to work with Soft Pastels- a beautiful and tactile medium. You will learn how to blend and render texture, how to compose a painting, and how to use light and dark to apply layers on layers of paint to obtain a luxurious, incredibly colorful painting.  Each student can work on their own subject matter and will receive individual instruction tailored to their own experience. This class is for all levels, from beginner to advanced students.

Suggested Pastel Materials List

  • Pastel – Nu-pastel, semi hard 12 assorted colors
    • For softer ones I like the half stick Sennelier. Their colors are fantastic. The more colors you have the better because it is not as easy to mix as paint.
  • Paper or Boards
    • Canson Mi teintes, Art spectrum Colourfix fine tooth paper, or Pastel mat
      (If you use paper, I recommend a foam core to hold the paper with clips or tap)
  • Razor Blade
  • Hard Brush
