Drawing is often the foundation of the visual arts. Chalk and Pastels are a forgiving and fun way to explore bringing your ideas to life. In this class we will explore the basics of creating vibrant compositions in chalk through the study of: Landscape, Portrait, Still Life, Architecture, Live Drawing and Plein Aire. Unlike other mediums, chalk is very inexpensive and easy to clean up, so you'll be able to take these skills with you anywhere, no home studio space needed.

As a painter I often use chalks and pastels as the foundation for my compositions, its easy to make a quick sketch and just as easy to fix mistakes. Over time I've begun to develop the use of chalk as a medium for creating robust works of their own. I love the flexibility and simplicity that they offer. Its so easy to pack up my sketchbook and a handful of colored pastels and takeoff into the world to capture what inspires me.

Raymond is an artist and musician from Buck County who recently relocated to North Bethlehem. In his home studio he works mostly as a painter using watercolor, acrylic and oils.
