If you’ve thought about taking up pastels as an art medium, this is the perfect class for you.

Take inspiration directly from living plants and learn how to use pastels to create abstract artwork.

Learn how to enhance color, blend colors, define lines and add depth and definition. Materials will be provided, and participants are encouraged to wear clothing they won’t mind getting dirty as pastels can stain clothing.

The class is $35 for Lauritzen Garden members, and $45 for non-members. Registration can be completed here.
