If art is your passion, March is your opportunity to expand your artistic skills. A pair of nationally recognized artists are coming to the Tamarac to teach artistic workshops using pastels, oils and acrylics. If you love to paint here’s a special opportunity for you.
Have you ever wanted to learn how to paint realistic children’s portraits in pastels?
Then join, award winning and Signature Member of the Pastel Society of America, Lisa Ober, as she conducts a two-day, hands-on workshop sharing her experience creating pastel portraits. Lisa’s step-by-step approach to teaching pastel portraiture insures that when you complete this workshop you will know how to develop a portrait from the first sketch through signing the painting and framing.
Whether you are a novice at creating pastel portraits or have a lifetime of experience you will gain a wealth of insights and ideas as Lisa shows you all the “tricks” of the trade she has mastered through thirty years of portrait painting. Every student will have the opportunity to complete a pastel portrait during the workshop with plenty of Lisa’s personal guidance and encouragement.
