Pastel Workshop

I'm teaching a pastel workshop on Fri Oct 10, through Sun Oct 12. at Eagle Canyon Hideaway. It will be a three day workshop with home cooked meals, private cabins and lake McConaughy right outside the door.

Lake McConaughy is Nebraska's largest reservoir with over 100 miles of shoreline and white sandy beaches. McConaughy is 20 miles long with one of the largest Dams of its type in the world, where the fish grow to trophy sizes. Bass and Walleye are among the favorite prizes pulled from the deep waters here. The large numbers of Canadian geese bring the fall hunters to the Clear Creek waterfowl Management Area at the west end of the lake.

This art experience will allow the artist ample opportunity to explore soft pastels, different papers and combining the pastels with different mediums. We will be working from photos that the students provide and a still life that will help learn to portray the light play on glass. Allow time for exploring the beautiful scenery outside and start a plein aire sketch, which will be completed indoors with pastels.

This workshop experience has open registration, and is reasonably priced at $225.00 for all 3 days and 2 nights. You can contact eagle canyon at 866-866-LAKE Bring your fishing pole and pastels for a great weekend!
