About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

We’ll see some basic characteristics about pastel pencils, I'll show some examples of drawing done with this media, then I will make a short demo on my camera about how to use them, sharpen them and also do some color mixing. We will see some examples of artworks done with this media. Afterwards I'll share some reference images to draw from during the rest of the time. You can open your mic to ask questions during the class.

For this new class you need to have some pastel pencils, so grab the ones you already have. Or, if you have to buy, just get a sepia pencil, a sanguine one OR a black pencil. After this workshop you can get some others in case you need or want to. If you have regular color pencils instead, it's no problem! You can use them too this time.

Have a couple of white sheets of drawing paper, A4 size will be OK, and much better if this paper has some sort of soft texture. (Canson Mis-teintes is a nice paper to draw on with soft pastels or pencils). You might need an eraser, too (kneaded and a regular one) and a good sharpener special for this pencils, or a blade cutter.

This is not a webinar or a demonstration-only class. You can unmute and ask the questions you need if something I explained was not understood. These are NOT pre-recorded sessions. I do not repeat the classes contents or the images we draw from, either.

Contact me if you have any questions before buying the class(es).

These classes are in English.

****************************************************************

WAYS TO DRAW AND PAINT are visual art classes online (drawing, sketching and painting, colage...) mostly for beginners and intermediate students and also anyone who wants to practise and learn different ways of drawing and painting, since there isn't only one way to do things in life. In each class you are also encouraged to experiment with different drawing/painting media:(i.e. graphite, colored pencils , pastels, charcoal, ball and fountain pens, markers, watercolors, oils, acrylics, gouache-temperas, collage...). If you want, you can open your camera and microphone and participate, share what you are doing and receive some feedback.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know how to draw or paint?

Not necessarily. You can be a complete beginner. If you are more experienced, you can also try the activities and work with the prompts at your own level.

Do I need professional materials?

Not at all. Normally I recommend starting an activity with simple and inexpensive materials, and perhaps over time, if you like the technique, you can get better quality materials.

Can I use my own photos to draw/paint from?

Sure you do!

Organized by

Visual Arts Teacher working independently on online art classes since 2020 when I had to shut down my studio. In 2023 I started teaching a series of Drawing and Painting Classes on Zoom in English which I call "WAYS TO DRAW AND PAINT" - (WTDP) . We study diverse subjects as still lifes, landscapes, animals, portraits and the whole human figure and also we work and experiment with different materials (graphite, charcoal, watercolors, colored pencils, pastels, tempera-gouache, oil, acrylics, collage and more). Usually these are stand alone classes, some others are weekly courses. I never repeat the classes contents and they are never pre-recorded. These classes in the English language are intended mostly for beginning and intermediate students, otherwise it is announced as for advanced students. Usually we are very few in each session, so you can ask questions and show your work on camera to get some feedback and continue to improve and grow as an artist.
