Pastels for the Beginner

Pastel Painting for Beginners

Old School Gallery, Saturday, February 24^th, 10 am – 2 pm

Some say you can’t make art without getting your hands dirty.  Join Michael Chesley Johnson in dirtying up your hands—with pastel!

Pastel is a cross-over medium between drawing and painting. And because there’s no tool
between you and the pastel stick, it’s a very tactile and immediate way to paint.

$10 donation to the El Morro Area Arts Council / Limited to 10 students
Supply list on request—register early, because you may have to order supplies
