The 22nd of May 2010, Pastel Workshop

Dear friends,
I promise not to "overdo" it the same way I have done last time with water colour. There won't be multiple exercises - one small still life to grasp a basic pastel technique (one only!)
If you can bring dry pastels - brand does not matter, but it must be dry - no crayons, please! The colour selection does not matter - full range, or greys, or Earth palette - whatever you have/like. I will have some spares too.
Any paper will do. Special pastel paper is good, colours pastel paper is Ok, but any sketching/drawing paper with a little bit of texture and thickness will be fine as well. The size is up to you, but please - not smaller than A4 size.
Please, bring some hair spray. If you have a special pastel spray to fix the medium, it is good, but a hair lacquer will work as well.
Tissues, cotton pads or something to smudge the pastel without getting your hands too dirty also will help.
That's it.
See you on Saturday!
Tatiana
