Saturday, June 6 from 1:30 - 3:30 pm
Award-winning pastel artist Gregory
John Maichack conducts a hands-on, adult workshop entitled “Scarlet
Poppies: Pastel Paint like Georgia O’Keeffe.” This pastel painting workshop is
designed for sheer beginners to experienced artists. Space is limited so please
call the library at 508-760-6219 to pre-register.
Participants will freely experiment with professional grade
pastels, pastel pencils, and pastel paper. Maichack, nominated twice for a
Massachusetts Gold Star Program Award, will demonstrate the essentials of
painting with pastels. Scumbling, feathering, blending, slurring, edges, and
layering will be taught in this direct tactile medium of pure and nuanced
color. Everyone takes home their own original pastel painting.
This workshop
is supported in part by a grant from the Dennis Arts and Culture Council, a
local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a
state agency.
