Making the Rounds by Lisa Mitchell
This workshop is designed for both Pastel Artists and Oil Painters and is a unique opportunity to study with talented painter and instructor Lisa Mitchell. Oil Painters will learn to use a variety of brushstrokes, thicknesses of paint and painting knives to create the illusion of texture on the painting surface. Pastel Painters will experiment with under painting. They will use the painting surface, the pressure of the pastel stick and mark making to achieve textural contrast.
