Pastel Classes on Skillshare

 If you're on Skillshare, please take a look at my pastel classes. I've just begun and I have a beginner and an intermediate class. They're free and so is membership to Skillshare. They do have a Premium membership which will allow you access to all classes if you like. 

Here are the links to my classes. 

Thisbeach scene of Belle Aire Beach, Florida takes under an hour. I've included a reference photo, a line drawing, step by step images as well as a list of all of the materials you need for this project.

This intermediate class, Portrait of an Egret runs just over an hour and I give you the reference photo, a line drawing and step by step images as well as a list of materials needed to complete the project.

YouTube Demonstrations

 I'm now posting demonstrations of Pan Pastel and pastel pencil drawings on YouTube. I've committed myself to posting two posts a months and I do hope you'll take a look and if you like what you see, subscribe and give me a "thumbs up". You can search for me under Joan Mansson or just click on this link.

Here are some the the projects I shared on YouTube. Some are full length and some are time lapse. All drawings are done in Pan Pastels and pastel pencils. 

Glorious Glazing

The February 2021 edition of Colored Pencil Magazine featured an article by me, Glorious Glazing, which I described how I used watercolor pencils to glaze water soluble graphite drawings to create beautiful and realistic drawings. For copyright reasons I'm not able to print the article here but I do have a link to the magazine. It's available in print and digitally and the article is on page 34. I hope you'll have a chance to read it and to try this technique.
