Ann DeRosier's
PASTEL WORKSHOP 2009
Relax and Refresh...... Central Missouri is the perfect place to enjoy outdoor beauty, to learn new pastel
techniques and to drink in the flavors of the summer.
Ann DeRosier, artist and art teacher from Jefferson City, will be holding a 5 -day
workshop (Sunday - Thursday) this summer, June 21-25, 2009, in Hermann.
Classes will begin at 1:00 p.m. Sunday and then at 9:00 a.m. thereafter, ending
with a art show Thursday morning. Each class will include a 45 minute to one hour
demonstration and lesson. The class will then be challenged to use the new techniques
on 3-4 pastel paintings during the week.

We will work locally in the Old Town for day 1 and day 2 focusing on buildings
and foliage. Day 3 will find us focusing on water from a creek, lake or river and
a vast assortment of trees, lighting, colorations and textures. Strong attention
to good composition will be emphasized. Day 4 will deal with depth and atmospheric
perspective as we do panoramas of the Missouri hills, the Missouri or Osage Rivers.
Critiques will be held every morning during the classes. Also on Day 4, Thursday,
we will have a demonstration of the specific matting and framing pastels works.
If you have any pastel lessons from your classes, if you are an art teacher, please,
bring them to share with the group on Thursday. We can all learn from each other.
-
Gathering together for socializing in the late afternoon and evening will be offered.
That is the perfect time to talk about art issues, challenges of the day and to
just get to know each other.
