Thu, 01 Oct 2026 15:00:00 GMT

In this class you will learn how to paint with soft pastels without having to purchase expensive materials and supplies. We will cover all related topics, such as drawing, composition, color theory, and much more as we work. This class is suitable for beginners and intermediate level students. We will start with simple sketches to learn how to apply pastels and progress to more complex paintings.

Each student will be provided with a professional pastel paper and a limited palette of hard and soft pastels during each class. You are welcome to bring your own supplies that you are comfortable working with. We will work on some projects together, using the instructor’s references, and on individual projects of your choice based on your own interest in a subject matter. I will help you every step on the way. The objective for this class is that each student enjoys creativity and self-expression and develops his or her own style.

The class is offered on Thursday mornings, the cost of the class includes 5 (five) 2-hour classes. If you miss the class, please request a make-up lesson, there will be no refunds for missed classes. To be eligible for the make-up class, you will need to notify the instructor that you will be absent before the class. If you know ahead of time that you will miss a class, please pay for 4 classes.

Paint Outs Interest Group (Sat, October 03, 2026)

Sat, 03 Oct 2026 05:00:00 GMT

A paint-out is when a group of artists meet-up in a location to paint and draw together. When they meet at a scenic, inspiring outdoor location it's called a "plein air paint-out." It's a great way to share your talents, learn from others and enjoy the company!

COST: Free! We are excited to offer this interest group at no cost to members and non-members alike!

Please note that this is not a class. It is a meet-up group for artists.

Most of the Plein Art Group's outdoor meet-ups this year will be held on Thursday mornings between 9:30 and 12:30. The outings being held at another day and/or time will be marked with an asterisk*.

During the hotter months, we will make use of the TWAL studio in the late afternoons to paint from still life that will be set up around the room. On those days only, we will suggest a $5 donation to help support TWAL's rent.

NOTE: If you will be joining us for ANY of these outings, PLEASE contact Sally Bowers (713-823-2824 ) or Nana Midcap (832-398-0214)
