Vibrant Landscapes in Pastel with Anne Kindl

Class | Available

Summer is here, and so is our creative spirit! In this class, we’ll set sail to paint a stunning landscape on sanded pastel paper. We’ll discover how journaling can deepen our connection with nature. We’ll explore the art of translucent wet underpainting, learn to build rich layers, and find expressive mark-making techniques using a limited pastel palette. This class is open to everyone, from beginners to experienced artists, as we all aim to create and enjoy the endless possibilities of this versatile medium.


All levels welcome, age 18+.

ARTIST STATEMENT

 

"Nature is a profound source of healing and inspiration, offering a refuge for the soul amid daily chaos. The elements—water, trees, and sky—fuel my artistic exploration, revealing endless discoveries. I'm fascinated by how light and color create dynamic scenes, which I strive to capture on canvas. Through vibrant hues and expressive marks, I aim to distill fleeting moments. My goal is to share this journey with others who embrace creativity, fostering a community of inspiration and learning.”
