Delving Into Pastels

Spectrum Art Gallery/Arts Center Killingworth 61 Main Street, Centerbrook

Working in this medium is so exciting-it’s a forgiving one!  You can blend, add value, and erase! Dig in for detail or be free according to your style.  We will be working with Autumn still lifes as you create color palettes, explore pastel strokes and so much more. For those of you who have already taken this workshop, we will explore new styles or hone in on your previous pieces. Please, bring in any pieces you are working on or have worked on.  You’ll enjoy the versatility of pastels.  Demos will be given by the instructor. Material list available upon registration. Born in New York city to artist parents, Lisa Arnold has been involved in art most of her life. Her interests have been wide as she has explored many venues in the art world. From being an illustrator, to working in advertising agencies ( which she hated), she went on to be a creative coordinator at conde Nast Publications. She currently is an art instructor at the Silvermine School of Art and the Guilford Art Center.   Based in Connecticut, she now spends much of her time “painting”in pastels and watercolor. She exhibits her work throughout new England.
