No Boundaries: Experiments in Pastel
This workshop is taught by Lorraine Trenholm and will be held Thursday, July 16 and Friday July 17, 9-4, with a half-hour break and you will need to bring a lunch. The cost of the workshop is $150 for PSAC members and $175 for non-members plus a $25 materials fee. This is a new workshop for artists who would like to experiment with materials and methods to help “break us out of our mold” when we create our pastel paintings. This is an opportunity for each of you to free yourself from the bonds of convention, to push the edges of your creativity, to stretch your wings and fly. We will test the limits of our paper, our materials and our imaginations! Each day, we’ll begin with an introduction of materials and methods, including creating textured paper and applying gold leaf. Then we’ll proceed to “hands on” experimenting and the application to each person’s own work.
Born in New York where she lived until completing studies as a painting major at Pratt Institute, Lorraine has painted and drawn throughout her life. She painted and showed her art on Cape Cod depicting that area, the Southwest, animal artistry, doing pastels, oils and collage. She helped found the Pastel Painters Society of Cape Cod and was Juried in as a Signature member its first year. A member of “21 in Truro,” Chatham Creative Arts Center, Pastel Society of NM and a Signature member of the Pastel Society of Colorado, she has won numerous awards and participated in several one woman shows. Her work has been published in Lois Griffel’s Painting the Impressionist Landscape and Kennedy Publishing’s Best of America-Pastel Artists and Artisans, Vol 1. Please call PSAC 264-5020 to register and obtain a supply list.
