About this event
2-Day Pastel Workshop with John Davis Held Saturday & Sunday, October 30th & 31st from 12-5 pm.
Whether you’re a beginner, or already working with pastels, John Davis Held’s workshop has something for you! Pastels with their “pop” of pure pigment, are unlike any other medium! John is known for his beautiful pastoral landscape paintings that convey a deep sense of peace and light. During his workshop, he will share his hard-won techniques, mastered after years of working in pastel, at your experience level!
