Welcome to Painting Big Skies in Soft Pastel – the class where we dive into the captivating world of expansive skies and the artistry of soft pastels! 
In this course, I'll be your creative guide, sharing my passion for painting big, beautiful skies using soft pastels. We'll embark on a journey together, exploring the magic behind my favorite tools and pastel supplies which bring my visions to life.
Our artistic adventure kicks off with a delightful small cloud study, allowing you to familiarize yourself with the materials and techniques we'll be using. It's the perfect warm-up before we soar into the second lesson – crafting a larger big sky painting. You'll see the transformation of a blank piece of paper into a breathtaking masterpiece, step by step.
Throughout the class, I'll open up my creative process to you, explaining the 'why' behind every stroke and decision. You'll witness my artistic choices in real-time, gaining valuable insights into the thought process behind each movement. From color selection to composition, I'll share the secrets that make each painting uniquely mine.
But the journey doesn't end with the last stroke! I'll walk you through the essential steps of finishing your soft pastel masterpiece, ensuring it's ready to be showcased. And for that perfect finishing touch, I've got a fantastic tip – I'll give you a tip on where to find a treasure trove of fabulous custom frames with mats, because, as you know, soft pastel works deserve to be displayed under glass, and custom framing is expensive!
In the class resources, you'll find a handy PDF file with links to all the supplies I use, making it a breeze for you to gather the same materials. Let's turn inspiration into creation and transform your artistic dreams into vibrant big skies on canvas. Join me in Painting Big Skies in Soft Pastel – where every stroke tells a story, and your imagination takes flight!
