with Jennifer Jeffreys
​
Saturday
October 18, 2025
10 AM - 4 PM​
During this fun and supportive workshop, participants will be introduced to essential drawing techniques. Emphasis will be placed on the use of line to convey value, form, and texture. Woodland creatures will serve as our subject matter, providing an engaging way to practice and refine these fundamental skills. In the afternoon session, the focus will shift to understanding and applying 1-point perspective, along with other methods for creating depth in two-dimensional artwork. Participants will put these concepts into practice by drawing a simple landscape, using perspective to bring a sense of space and realism to their compositions.

Beginning with an informative demonstration, Shauna will show how to begin pastel with watercolor, discussing the issues that every painting requires —composition, shadow and light, texture, and most of all, the joy found in creating a beautiful painting using this purest of all painting mediums – pastel. In the remainder of the workshop, students will complete a 16 x 20 landscape with figure painting in pastel using a watercolor underpainting - working from the same reference used in the demonstration. An effective, positive teacher, Shauna instructs each student based on their individual pace and progress. Whatever your level, you will gain experience and understanding of this popular technique.
