Upcoming UART Workshops
Want to improve your pastel painting techniques? Want to get away for a weekend and paint with like minded fellow pastel artists? Then come and attend a UART workshop near you! Not only you will learn from some of the best pastel artists in the country, but we will guarantee you will have fun and leave the workshop with new friends and UART goodies. We like to limit the capacity of our workshops so you can get all the attention you need from the teachers, so book your space early as our workshops do sell out very quickly.
2-Day UART Workshop with Hilarie Couture: “All About the Figure“
Location: Fort Wayne, IN
Date: Friday May 19th – Saturday May 20th 2023
Join Hilarie Couture for a UART 2-day pastel workshop, where we will explore the art of creating lifelike expressive portraits and figures using pastels on UART Premium Sanded Pastel Paper. This workshop is designed for artists of all levels, from beginners to advanced, who want to improve their skills in drawing the human form.
In this workshop, we will focus on three key elements of creating a realistic figure: structure, value and temperature. By understanding these elements and how they work together, we can create portraits and figures that look alive and dynamic. It is all about seeing shape and how light wraps around the form.
