Pastels 101 with Jim Tyler

We’ll complete a painting while learning all about pastels. Every Pastels 101 class has a different scene to paint, so you can take this one more than once. One day workshop, supplies available, $95. If you have pastel experience then we’ll add an extra facet to your painting, like a focus on under-paintings. Contact Jim at jimtylerfineart@gmail.com

Saturday, January 26 from 9:00 – 4:00.
One day workshop, supplies available, $95.

3CPS Exhibit at the Morro Bay Natural History Museum.

Two Worlds Meet: Living Together Along the Shore Shorelines can be freshwater, saltwater or a mixture of the two. Along the Central Coast we have all three. Our Mediterranean climate attracts both humans and animals, and the many ways we co-exist are the subject of this exhibit. If it happens here, it’s the perfect subject matter for your painting.
