These two images were selected by the Mission Hospital Cultural Arts Project. They will be displayed as large giclee prints with other artists of Western North Carolina whose work was chosen. Mine will hang with others in the tower of the Mission Hospital’s new Medical Research wing. A reception is planned before they open.

Get Dusty – How to Pastel with No Fear
Workshop Fee: $139
Skill Level: All
Time: Thursday, November 14, 2019 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. at Retail Store
New to art, new to soft pastel, experienced but need a refresher, transitioning from another medium? This is the class for you. Find the sheer joy in making marks again as you did when you were a child.
Quality exercises to calm fears of trying something new will be interspersed with substantive, fundamental pastel painting information – covering how to use hard and soft pastels, papers and surfaces, how to make changes, diversity of applications methods both wet and dry. Leave with several reference exercises, and time-permitting, one small, close-to-finished piece.
Some pastels, materials, and references will be provided, but feel free to bring any pastel or drawing materials you may already have and wish to bring along. Also, bring a clean, worn out brush, some moist hand wipes, a kneadable eraser, and an open mind.
Vibrant Pastel Portraits – The Secret is in the Joyful Application
Workshop Fee: $139
Skill Level: All
Time: Thursday, November 14, 2019 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Is a pastel a drawing or a painting? Depending on the approach and application it can be either. Vibrant portraits as drawings are a simplified approach and often become the underpainting to highly detailed finished products. Know when to stop.
We will cover: using dynamic colors, layering those colors to create depth of hues, relying on basic shapes to simplify and begin without hesitation, the basics of human proportion, methods of transferring images from life or references, sculpting with shadow and light, when to use hard and soft edges, techniques to “turn form” to appear rounder with more depth.
Now we add the Joy. Draw. Play. Make marks. Let the soft pastels carry you into a new form of expression about our landscapes, our still lifes, and its people. Some pastels, materials, reference photo, and a method of transfer will be provided. Feel free to bring any pastels or drawing materials you may already have and wish to bring, some moist hand wipes, a clean, worn out brush, and if you’d like to share – one good joke.

Weekly Pastel Classes by Addren Doss
I have been asked by numerous people to teach a weekly pastel class. I have now decided to do so.
When: Thursday mornings, August 1 – September 26
(except for Thursday, September 12)
Time: 9:30 am – 12:00 noon
Where: College Place United Methodist Church
Cost: $195 for the 8 week session
To register email me at addrendesigns@aol.com
This class will have a minimum of 6 students and a maximum of 10 students. Registration is on a first come basis. Several people have already indicated they would like to attend, so don’t hesitate to contact me.
When you register I will let you know what type of supplies you will need for this first session.
Beginner and experienced artists are welcome in this class. We will start with the basics and work our way up. Even if you are experienced it never hurts to review the basics, and I will certainly work with you on the level you are currently at. There will be some work from life using simple still life set ups, and some landscape work using photographs.
In this first session we will cover:
How to set up your pastels to give you a better understanding of color harmony and value relationships.
Proportion and basic drawing.
Composition and what makes a good painting.
Under painting — to use or not to use.
I have been working in pastel and been a professional artist for about 30 years, and look forward to sharing with you some of what I have learned during that time.
Member News, Jeri Greenberg
I recently moved to Leland, NC from NJ/NY area and am pleased to announce that I will be teaching a weekly pastel class for the Cameron Art Museum starting on September 10, 2019, as well as 2-day workshops in September and November. I’m thrilled to be the first instructor in a very long time to offer a pastel only class to the Wilmington museum area.
I am a signature member of PSA and a IAPS Master Circle recipient, as well as other groups and I am excited to meet pastel artists in my new surroundings.
