Course Outline
2-Day workshop with Kippy Hammond is designed for the students to explore:
various types of pastels and supports available to the pastelists;
various approaches in expanding the boundaries of pastels, using under-paintings of turpentine wash, watercolor, and oil wash;
different "touches" used in application that can only be acquired by experimentation
The class has two segments:
Laboratory stations, featuring different supports and types of pastels, where all the students can experiment the different “touch and feel” of these materials and the effect of application.
Instructional segment incorporates demonstration, lecture, and individual assistance for each student
The size formats of the supports will be kept very small in order to push through the painting schedule so students can get a complete idea of how the different pastel projects build and layer.
It is emphasized that this workshop is for the student to experiment and explore. The students should not anticipate producing a painting to be complete, signed, and framed.
