Painting Landscapes with Pastels  


Deb Goodenberger of McCook will be guiding participants to teach students to think like an artist through new teaching methods. While Deb teaches how to block in color under pastel painting from a photo, we will have a professional photographer, Anne Churchill Thomas from Broken Bow speak with us about composition and the golden triangle. Deb, a long time Nebraska Art Teacher's Association member will help teachers incorporate standards into the pastel lesson. It will all come together for a memorable experience and enrich your teaching as you leave the day armed with teaching techniques, lesson plans, and a renewed art spirit.

Materials required:
Participant-Provided-Supplies (with Deb’s suggested options):
-SKETCHBOOK for thumbnail/planning and DRAWING PENCILS
-PHOTOGRAPHS OF LANDSCAPES ideally with strong light and shadow. Best photos are taken during the “magic hour” before dusk or early morning.
-WATERCOLOR or ACRYLIC paints and brushes for watered-down underpainting, water cups
-BASIC SET OF PASTELS or landscape set, which range in price; a good set of soft pastels (not hard) is a great start.
-9” x12” pcs of sanded pastel paper will be provided but you may bring your own as well. I find neutrals, especially grey is easy to work with.
-EASEL (travel or table top). Pastels are best painted vertically to allow dust to fall naturally. (Hand wipes will be provided. Some pastel artists like rubber gloves or finger gloves.)
