Teaching Opportunity – Pastel Class for Durham Arts Council

This is an eight week class with dates of April 10 – May 29, 2008 from 7:00-9:00 PM at the Durham Arts Council.

If interested, please contact: Jill Brown, Durham Arts Council School Manager

Class Description: Painting with pastels. Paint the natural world with pure color! Soft pastel offers variations in application fro clean edged detail to rich painterly strokes. Since our concentration is on realism, we will focus on techniques to ensure correct values and shapes, compositional relationships and basic color theory. We will explore the variety of soft pastels available and their usage as well as information on types of paper and tips on framing. All levels of experience welcome! Check the DAC website or call 560-2725 for a materials list.

PSNC Photo Depot

All of us have trouble finding good reference photos from time to time, so we have decided to build a repository of copyright-free images donated by our members. Anyone who wishes to participate may bring as many 5x7 or 8x10 color prints of any photo they wish to release permission to use to our monthly meetings. There will be no cost to use the photos and therefore no compensation to the photographer. By sharing in this way, we can all become better artists. We hope you'll contribute to this resource!
