Watercolor and Soft Pastel Class, Level IV taught by Carl Oltvedt (Multi-Session)
April 3, 2025 @ 2:30 pm – 5:30 pm
Multi-Session Class
Meets 4 Thursdays April 3-24 from 2:30-5:30pmIN PERSON CLASS
Students will continue to develop their skills, building on their prior experiences with this mixed media approach. Each student will be encouraged to develop their own voice, as they become more comfortable with the expressive potential of the two media in tandem; some will choose to use watercolor to a greater extent and others will choose pastel, both of which will provide a greater richness for the class experience as a whole. Individuals with good experience in either of the two media individually are welcome to consider taking the class. Each class will start with a brief lecture, demonstration and/or discussion of materials. I look forward to seeing you!
Classes have a limited space available and some fill quickly. Decisions about whether to cancel a class or add another session are typically made one week prior to the start of a class. If a class you are interested in is full we will have a waiting list and will contact you if a space opens up. If a class is cancelled due to low enrollment (fewer than 4 registrations) all registrations will be promptly refunded.
