DAVID GARRISON SOFT PASTEL WORKSHOP
Signature member of Pastel Society of America

From Paris, France to charming Alburtis, Pennsylvania! This is a rare opportunity to study with an international pastel artist with strong and unique individual style. David, who works primarily in pastel but also paints magnificent murals, is known for his dramatic sense of color and light. He imparts a masterful sense of time, space and atmosphere in his paintings.

David would like the students to start looking for a variety of subjects to paint. This time include some close up portraits (He asks students to not bring any of their family). He teaches the portrait study to first have an impact of lighting not a likeness. A likeness comes with time and will happen naturally.

Alburtis, PA 18011
Date: January 7 & 8 2012
Time: 9:30 to 4:30

What the Amana Arts Guild says…

David has mastered the art of ‘painting from life’ as well as the art of teaching his concepts and techniques relating to seeing and painting. He presents a very well organized and planned workshop that is both meaningful and inspiring for participants! His teaching is indeed a growing experience for all who attend! I recommend him highly and I am certain that your workshop participants will gain much insight in drawing with pastel. They will certainly have a maturing experience as an artist. A great workshop!

Repspectfully,
