Ready to get back into pastels – or do you want guidance on where to start?
Learn how Jill Tichenor works with pastels. This class will have exercises to emphasize the use of the pastels and techniques and is great for both beginners and those that would like more guidance in their current pastel painting process.
Jill will discuss materials, show examples of her own work as well as famous artists, and have a planned exercise to get everyone familiar with the materials. Students need plenty of paper so they have the opportunity to produce more than one painting. Part of this two-day series will focus on finishing and framing artwork.
Students are encouraged to bring their own reference photos to work from.
Jill will inspire you with her love of pastels. She has been painting with them since she was a teenager. She has been a member of the Mid-America Pastel Society for the last 15 years.

- Soft Pastels Set. Rembrandt Half sticks (Set of 15)
- Pastel Paper. Assorted Mi-Teintes 24 Sheet Pad size 9×12
- Kneaded Eraser
- Blending Stump (size 3/8)
- Fabre-Castell Pitt Pastel Pencil Set Assorted Colors Tin Box Set of 12

“I get to make art and I like art. We don’t do this stuff in school. Well, we do simple projects like drawing by yourself. Really easy stuff. But art takes a lot more work than what we do in school.” – Lena, 7 years old


“I’d say Kids Media is fun, the people that work there are nice. At school, it’s different. We haven’t done a clay project [like we did in Kids Media], and we haven’t done something with foreground, middle ground, and background. I think I’m kind of a better artist now.” – Lane, 8 years old

“I get to make art and I like art. We don’t do this stuff in school. Well, we do simple projects like drawing by yourself. Really easy stuff. But art takes a lot more work than what we do in school.” – Lena, 7 years old


“I’d say Kids Media is fun, the people that work there are nice. At school, it’s different. We haven’t done a clay project [like we did in Kids Media], and we haven’t done something with foreground, middle ground, and background. I think I’m kind of a better artist now.” – Lane, 8 years old

Colored Pencil Class Supply List
- Colored pencil sketchbooks are great for beginners, but you will be happier with a heavy drawing paper like Stathmore 400 or watercolor paper. The smoothest one you can find or hot press.
- For black paper, use Stonehenge brand.
- If you want to invest in a high-end paper get Pastelmat. It comes in a variety of colors and can be hold many layers of colored pencil.
- Colored Pencils (a set of artist grade pencil). Wanda’s favorites include Lyra Rembrandt, or Faber-Castell. Prismacolor pencils made before 2012 are great, too!
- A white pencil eraser or a kneaded eraser.
- A pencil sharpener.
- Drafting Brush for keeping your paper clean from crumbs. Large, clean makeup brushes work well.
Optional Supplies:
- A good reference picture printed to the same size you will be working in.
- Transfer paper for tracing.
- Odor-less oil painting solvent and paint brush for blending.
- Watercolor pencils.
- Scissors.
