Merrymeeting Community & Adult Education

Get ready for the upcoming summer plein air season by studying and exploring spring landscapes in pastel from the comfort of Room 3. We’ll warm up as usual with speed sketching, do our astronaut stuff, finding our process, developing our palette, getting color in our colors, and trying out new grounds and surfaces. Enrollment is limited to students who have taken some pastel, plein air painting, sketching, color, open studio or astronaut class with Ed Higgins. All others, please contact the instructor before signing up (ed_higgins@icloud.com). Minimum materials list for this class is a set of soft pastels, and several sanded/pastel ground surfaces or boards to paint on. *No Class: 4/23. **Special note about art materials: Please do not call our office about materials. Come to the first class with your favorite sketchbook and drawing pencils & pens. Suggested materials will be discussed by the instructor on the first day of classes. Thank you.
