What's Inside
LESSON 1: Making Marks
Expand your vocabulary of marks! In our first lesson, we'll develop a greater awareness of the various types of marks, direction of strokes and pressure of your touch as you practice mark-making.Â
LESSON 2:Â The Linear Pear
Embrace the beauty of line in pastel! This lesson is all about practicing linear hatching and crosshatching. You'll learn to paint a single pear using only linear marks to stipple, hatch, and crosshatch to develop shape and tone.Â
LESSON 3: The Sculpted Pear
It's time to level up your painterly techniques using side strokes! In this lesson, you'll learn to paint a single pear using only side strokes to develop the masses of positive and negative shapes.Â
LESSON 4: Painterly Pears
Let's pull it all together with style! This final lesson invites you to integrate all the techniques and discoveries you've been learning so far and bring your own personal touch. Paint a still life using two pears as you practice and apply a painterly approach to mark-making with variety, depth and dimension. You're even allowed to blend!
