Pastel Workshops

My classic Pastel Workshop focuses on painting small and often to rapidly improve your skills and expand your knowledge. Grow your grasp of light, values, color and composition in a relaxed and fun atmosphere!

Pablo Picasso is said to have had at least seven major periods. It's estimated he made over 1,885 paintings, 1,228 sculptures, 2,880 ceramics, 18,095 engravings, 6,112 lithographs, 3,181 linocuts, 7,089 drawings plus 4,669 drawings and sketches in 149 notebooks, 11 tapestries and 8 rugs. "What one does is what counts," said Picasso, "not what one had the intention of doing."
