Florals in Soft Pastels + Mixed Media with Katie Rogers 08/9/26
In this workshop, we’ll focus on creating soft, luminous floral (or fruit) studies using pastel - capturing the feeling of a flower rather than rendering it with precision.
Students will learn how to build florals through step by step instruction with subtle layering. We’ll explore how to simplify floral forms and layer pastel using both loose gestural strokes as well as finer details. Additionally, we’ll experiment layering pastel together with watercolor to create interesting textures and a beautifully layered effect.
This session is about expanding your approach - moving from foundational technique into more expressive, layered pieces. Still suitable for beginners who are open to diving in!
All materials included and all skill levels welcome! Limited space available.
