Want to capture the evergreens and rolling mountains sprinkled with flowers and pressed against a blue sky to create your own beautiful pastel landscape? Join us on September 27, 2026, for “The Pastel Landscape,” a workshop with instructor Suzanne DesLauriers. Students will paint an underpainting to serve as the backdrop for the piece. Then, students will take the techniques that they have learned and will add finishing touches in soft pastel. Learn more and Register Here: https://brmaa.org/pastel-landscape-sept-27
