FORT WALTON BEACH — The Pastel Society of North Florida has scheduled free demonstrations on pastel painting techniques.
The meetings — open to the public — are 9 a.m. to noon April 1 and May 6 in the Fellowship Hall of the Church of Christ, 232 Hollywood Blvd., Fort Walton Beach. The hall is accessed from the small parking lot off of Magnolia.
At the April meeting, Linda Whittaker will demonstrate her cost-saving technique using pre-made, standard size frames.
At the May meeting, Carrie Raeburn will show attendees how to use Kitty Wallis's Moist Pastels to make sticks of pastel in a value range, as well as how to transform broken bits of pastel into colorful grays, custom colors and speckled pastels. She will also discuss how to use dust from your easel trays to tone supports.
Attendees may bring something for Show and Tell to the meetings. Refreshments will be served.
