INTRODUCTION TO PASTEL
Instructor: Diane Fechenbach
Dates: Monday, May 9, 16, 23
Time: 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Price: $55
This class is a fun way to learn about
painting in pastels. We will talk about
types of pastel, from hard to ultra soft,
have an overview of equipment and
materials needed, and create a painting
from beginning to end: planning the
painting, selecting materials and generating
the first sketches, blocking in; mixing
pastels, and finishing the painting. The
emphasis will be on learning the tips and
tricks of using pastels (without the mess)
and on developing and creating paintings.
Supplies: Small sketch book or several
sheets of drawing paper, preferably white,
charcoal or soft (2H or softer) pencil;
kneaded eraser; two or three 8x12” or
11x14” papers or prepared boards — any
brand , any color; board to mount papers;
tape. Please call for complete list of pastels.
WHAT YOU DIDN’T KNOW AND WERE AFRAID TO ASK
A new painting class at the Curtis Center can give you the answers.
Instructor Kevin Weckbach is leading a six month class which meets every
Thursday for six hours. Kevin offers this class using the guidelines of his book
“A Visual Palette: A Philosophy of the Natural Principles of Painting.” He engages
the artist of all levels and style in painting because the principles are foundational
and key to the quality of painting. The next offering begins in July for 144 hours.
The price is $1,152.
You are invited to drop in to observe the dynamics of the current class.

“Elegant” was the word
many viewers chose to
describe the
“Greenwood… and Beyond
Photography” exhibit.
Those who attended the
lecture given by jurors
Skip Kohloff and
Lisbeth Neegaard Kohloff
were given some sage advice.
• Consider a photograph a
marriage between the
composition and the
presentation.
• As to giving the edition number, it varies, but their opinion was, sometimes
the fifth copy is better than the first, so the numbers may not have
accountability.
• Save your prints because there may be a time when you are required to
exhibit a body of work.
Jurors and the audience were of a single mind as to the delivery of the work.
The Curtis Center requires that artists deliver work framed and ready for
presentation before the jurying process. This was appreciated and valued by
those in attendance. The current jurying by JPEG, which many organizations
are requiring, does not give a true reflection of photography.
In the future, the photography exhibit will be held in November.
