Class Description
Join me in this dynamic pastel class where we capture the elegance and power of a Gannet soaring over the open ocean. This lesson is perfect for artists wanting to improve their ability to depict birds in flight with realistic feathers and a beautifully simplified background that sets the scene without overwhelming the subject.
Your Learning Journey Includes:
🌊 How to paint the out of focus sea surface: Learn soft blending techniques to create the illusion of depth and motion beneath the bird.
🕊️ How to render the white feathers: Discover how to maintain clean, crisp whites while still capturing light, form, and subtle shadows.
🖤 How to show detail in the black feathers: Explore contrast and texture to create definition in the wings without overworking the pastel.
This is a fantastic opportunity to practice both realism and atmosphere in a single artwork. By the end of the class, you'll have a striking piece filled with movement and grace. Let’s soar into this lesson together!
