One Day Workshop with Lisa Ober
Saturday, May 25 - 9am-4pm
If you have ever wanted to learn how to create detail with pastels, this is a workshop for you.  On Saturday, May 25, Paint Saint Louis and I are planning a one-day still-life workshop.  This "hands-on" workshop will show you the creative tricks and techniques I use to create my paintings.
The workshop will be limited to 15 artists so everyone gets plenty of personal guidance. I will provide the U-art paper.You need to provide your own pastels, a ground cloth and easel. There are tables if you prefer to work flat. You will have the choice to work from a real still-life set-up or from a photograph. It's an all day workshop at Garry McMichael's studio, and includes snacks, and one of Diane's famous healthy lunches.   
Price for the workshop will be $110.  For more information

Tidbits

Adding to my small works collection for a show in May/June at Grafica.  About 6 more left to complete so I have a nice square display.  6 X 6 oil on panel.  

I loved creating a painting of this little girl in pastel.  She had such a sparkly personality!
24 X 18 pastel on board.

Mixing It Up


Piece number two for the small works group show.  Creating this painting made me realize how complicated the mixing of color is up close.  I had never really paid much attention to the very subtle gradients that form between colors on a palette not to mention how many little sparkly highlights exist in wet paint.
