Event Details
Ready to get back into pastels – or do you want guidance on where to start?
Learn how to work in pastels with Jill Tichenor. 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, do demonstrations, 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.
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.
Pastel Painting Supplies:
- Soft Chalk Pastel Set. Suggested: Rembrandt Half sticks (Set of 15 or more)
- Pastel Paper. Suggested: Assorted Mi-Teintes 24 Sheet Pad size 9×12
- Kneaded Eraser
- Blending Stump (size 3/8 or similar)

The perfect way to try something new!
With 20+ years of experience in colored pencil, Wanda’s techniques include composition, use of complementary color, creating texture on the page, blending, and personal style.

Join us every week or just when you can.
A cash bar will be available to purchase refreshments during the class.
If you would like to join the class from the comfort of your home, a Zoom option is now available.

“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

Ready to get back into pastels – or do you want guidance on where to start?
Learn how to work in pastels with Jill Tichenor. 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, do demonstrations, 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.
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 Chalk Pastel Set. Suggested: Rembrandt Half sticks (Set of 15 or more)
- Pastel Paper. Suggested: Assorted Mi-Teintes 24 Sheet Pad size 9×12
- Kneaded Eraser
- Blending Stump (size 3/8 or similar)

“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

Students will make 1 necklace charm and a pair of earrings using Sterling silver wire.
All supplies will be provided for this class, but if you would like to bring your own tools you are welcome to.
Karen’s comments about making jewelry:
“I started making jewelry after raising two children and while still pursuing a career as a Clinical Laboratory Scientist at a local hospital. I live in rural Missouri and prefer to participate in local art shows and craft fairs.”
“I love the texture and the look produced by nature and decided to specialize in rocks (we call them Gemstones because they’re pretty) and Sterling Silver. For me, the stones are the focus of each piece and the silver provides the highlights.”
