Stan is a nationally recognized leader in helping to develop artists who work in pastel. His workshops are unique experiences that are incredibly fast paced and cover a myriad of information and techniques on drawing, color, texture, form, space and how to let go/release and learn to express yourself uniquely with this very rewarding medium. In this workshop he will focus on the landscape, color solutions for making both believable and painterly scenes that will separate and step up your work from the ordinary.

DESMOND O’HAGAN 3 days Primarily indoor workshop in pastel. visit www.desmondohagan.com to learn about this very talented and generous, humorous and hard working teacher.
“My main focus in the workshop is to explore the art of “Interpreting Light”. This approach can be explored in both landscapes and urbanscapes as well as a variety of other subject matter. I have a very hands-on approach to teaching; working individually with each student.
My workshop begins with a digital slideshow of my pastels including two step-by-steps of works in progress. Lecture topics include “infusing light” and conveying energy with your pastel technique. My workshop is also designed to help you reach the next level in your pastel painting.
Workshop demonstration would emphasize composition, developing technique through a more painterly approach, and the importance of light, values, and contrasts.”
