Description

In this 3-hour session, students will learn the pastel dusting technique for adding quick and effective color to black-and-white art or calligraphy. This magic technique, which includes using hand-cut stencils, is good for cards and bookmaking, intensifying areas of color in a painting, or it can be a standalone art masterpiece. Student will learn different ways to use this technique in their art.

  • Metal ruler and small cutting board
  • Kneaded eraser
  • Cotton balls and Q-tips
  • Large paper plate or small 6-well watercolor palette
