Join us for a one-day workshop focused on creating beautiful floral compositions using soft pastels! We'll start by breaking down floral references into simple abstract shapes, allowing you to build your unique artwork intuitively.

In the morning, you'll learn to identify basic shapes and values in flowers, enhancing your observational skills. We’ll then build a color palette that complements these values, selecting hues that add vibrancy and depth to your piece.

In the afternoon, you'll create a pastel painting, applying the techniques learned earlier.

**Supplies Needed:**
- Sanded paper
- Soft pastels
- Board (for support)
