Imagine standing in front of an empty canvas. Isn’t it boring? Shortly! Applying pastels is similar to sprinkling your imagination with fairy dust. The vibrant, playful cousins of the art supply family could be considered pastel hues. Their soft hues blend together like butter on toast. They are also forgiving, much like your grandmother when you forget her birthday.
To this, add ink, the serious partner in crime. Like pastel’s summer attire, ink adds depth and clarity. It is bold and determined. While precision is necessary, ink offers a lot of excitement. You get to portray motion and passion with expressive, fast strokes. It’s amazing to see this contrast.
What does a typical class look like? Picture a bustling hub where concepts are constantly bouncing off the walls. It’s not possible to stare at stuffy lectures all day. Artists exchange more than just stories when they come together. Everything is presented with a smile and a wink, from tips on brush technique to insights into color theory. Allow your ideas to absorb like a sponge.
Here’s a little-known fact: the random blending of lines and colors often results in masterpieces. Instead of a systematic approach, it’s a symphony of trial and error and fortunate discovery. As Bob Ross would say, there are no faults—only happy accidents.
Let’s talk about equipment as well. It is not necessary for you to spend all of your money. The rough underdog art supplies are frequently the most effective, yet expensive stuff are undoubtedly beautiful. You’ll learn how to make the most of everything in your equipment. Think of yourself using ink and pastel, like MacGyver, with just a stick of gum and a rubber band.
Meetings for feedback? They are more like a friendly coffee talk than a grilling. Every creation you produce provokes conversation. Remember that every scribble or smudge is a step in the right direction. The loudest yell of growth is the art stacks from months ago.

Who knows? Allow your colors to shine and your lines to waver. You could be one heartbeat away from framing your next masterpiece.
