Explore both studio and plein air pastel painting with instruction by internationally acclaimed artist, instructor, and author Liz Haywood-Sullivan. This intensive pastel workshop starts with one day in the studio where we will cover using her Good Bones structural system to painting and discussion of portability with pastels. The next two days we move into the outdoors. Our daily studies will involve direct observation of the landscape with instruction in choosing your subject and composition from life, aerial perspective, working with underpainting, correct drawing and sky and water value work. In both settings Liz will start each day with a demonstration, and there will be two group critiques. There will be plenty of daily individual instruction at your easel. Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced. Workshop fee is $625 members/$650 non-members.

Liz Haywood-Sullivan, PSA-MP, IAPS/MC, is a representational landscape artist painting in the pastel medium. Her award-winning paintings are defined by strong contrasts and color, dramatic lighting, and graphic compositions, which often feature the interplay between man and the environment.

Liz became the Third President of the International Association of Pastel Societies (IAPS) in 2013.
