Karen Margulis’s “Expressive Pastel Painting” video workshop is PERFECT for you if:
- You want to LOOSEN UP and be more free with your wildflower and grasses references…
- You want to have more interesting colors and move away from using only local colors…
- You have a “fear of the blank canvas” and aren’t sure where to start…
- You aren’t sure when to stop and finish a painting…
- You want to explore the pastel medium and want to try UNUSUAL underpaintings
