Goshen Painters’ Guild offers one-day beginners pastels class

GOSHEN — The Goshen Painters’ Guild presents the class “Introduction to Painting with Pastels” from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 22 at 212 W. Washington St., Suite 16.

Taught by award- winning Indiana artist Brenda Ramseier, who owns the Art Giraffe Studio and Gallery in Silver Lake, Ind., the workshop is for adult beginners and any others who want to learn to use pastels, which are powdered pigments bound together with gum or resin.

Ramseier, who opened her studio following a long career as an art teacher, has won many awards throughout Indiana for her work, including exhibits at the Hoosier Salon and at the Indiana Statehouse, where she was named a 2022 Hoosier Woman Artist.

Her awarded works include media in pastel, watercolor, and pen and ink, most depicting the beauty of the rural Indiana countryside.

Cost is $90; 20% less for Guild members, and 10% less for Associate members.

Workshop registration, a supply list and payment with credit card or PayPal are available online at goshenpaintersguild.org.
