Pastel for Beginner with Nori Thorne

November 14, 2025

Painting by Nori Thorne

Are you drawn to the beauty and versatility of pastel but don’t know where to start?  This crash course is for you. We will have pastel demonstrations, exercises, and plenty of at-easel encouragement.  Learn how to block in a design, underpaint using a wet wash, experiment with a variety of pastel surfaces and materials.  With an emphasis on achieving correct values, colors, and shapes you will create an exciting floral still life and leave the workshop with skills to begin your pastel journey.

Nori Thorne s a graduate in Studio Art from University of Pittsburgh.  Among her accomplishments, Nori received first place recognition in Tucson Pastel Society’s Juried Exhibition at the Amerind Museum.

All levels are welcome to attend this beginner-friendly class.
