Discover the beauty and immediacy of soft pastel.

Pure Pigment: A Beginner’s Guide to Pastel is more than a sunflower demonstration.

In this course, I share the materials I use, several ways to begin a painting, underpainting approaches, a complete pastel demonstration from start to finish, and how I frame and finish my work.

My goal is to help you feel more comfortable with pastel, understand the process, and loosen up enough to let the painting breathe.

“Loved your class! I didn’t know about watercolor and alcohol underpaintings at all. Such an education on pastels! Well worth every little penny and more so! And I’m so glad I can watch it more than one time!”
