Week 1:

Finish your pastel landscape if you haven't yet. It's up to you how many details you add, if any. In Impressionist works, texture and details can be suggested, where it's implied through mark-making.

Step back often, squint, and consider leaving it in a fresh state, or as my mentor Olya Losina says, "with the energy of a promise."

‍

To prepare for week two, you can tape the borders of your pastel paper to a sturdy support board with artists tape, to prevent finger prints and accidental smudges on your drawing.
