This morning I went to an art class this morning at DKW Gallery to learn how to use Art Pastels to draw a pig. This was our inspiration.
We thankfully had stencil to trace for the main shape. Then we starting laying down a base.
We kept adding more layers for shadows and outlines.
Next step was using our fingers to blend.
Then we came back in with more shading on our pig and then chose the color for our background (I chose a grey/green blend).
And the final step was coming in with a black Pastel Pencil to add details.
He doesn't quite look like the pig in the picture … but for my first try, I was thrilled that I could actually tell he is a pig.
It was fun to visit the gallery & take an art class again.
