The other day was rough. My mind was spinning and I couldn’t seem to land no matter how hard I tried. In a spare hour, I decided to paint. Days like that require medicine for the soul and that is exactly what it was.
Every stroke of my soft pastel was like a meditation. I felt myself coming back into my body, into the present moment.
Making art hasn’t always been a therapeutic experience for me. There was a time when the perfectionism and performance was too much to bear. Painting landscapes with soft pastel helped free me from this. I was finally able to channel the life-giving qualities of creating and it quite literally healed me.
Join me for a relaxing evening on Zoom from the comfort of your own home.

Supply List:
I'm going to be using a variety of different soft pastels across different brands as well as showing a variety of papers. There are no set supplies, so please feel free to use what you have available!
Any soft pastels and paper will work for this workshop since our focus will be on mindfully connecting to the medium and your art.
If you are brand new to soft pastel and would like a suggestion on where to begin, I've attached the Supply List to the Discovering Soft Pastel Beginner's Course below. This will give you an inexpensive, but good starting point to dip your toe in the water.
