SUMMARY:Tulips in Pastels with Deb Shea
DESCRIPTION:Tulips in Pastels with Deb Shea\nAbout This Event\nIf you are looking to explore the beauty of soft pastel painting\, Tulips in Pastels with Deb Shea offers an engaging workshop designed to introduce participants to the fundamentals of creating vibrant floral artwork. Whether you are completely new to pastel painting or already have some experience\, this class provides a welcoming environment where you can develop your artistic skills while learning from an accomplished instructor. \nThroughout the session\, participants will be guided through the essential techniques used in soft pastel painting. The workshop begins with an introduction to key artistic concepts that form the foundation of successful paintings. Students will learn about value\, which helps create depth and dimension\, as well as composition\, which focuses on arranging elements in a balanced and visually appealing way. The class also explores color theory\, helping participants understand how different colors interact to produce expressive and harmonious floral artwork. \nIn addition to these core concepts\, students will practice a variety of techniques used by pastel artists. The class includes sketching exercises to establish the basic structure of the composition before moving on to underpainting\, a technique that creates a strong base for the final artwork. Participants will also learn how to build layers of soft pastel\, blending colors and textures to produce rich\, luminous floral paintings inspired by tulips. \nThe workshop is suitable for beginning and intermediate artists\, making it an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in learning a new artistic medium or improving existing skills. Since all art supplies are included in the registration fee\, participants only need to bring their enthusiasm and creativity. The instructor provides step-by-step guidance throughout the class\, allowing students to gain confidence while working at their own pace. \nOne of the unique aspects of this workshop is that it is part of a recurring monthly pastel series taught by Deb Shea. Held on the third Saturday of each month\, the series introduces participants to new themes\, subjects\, and techniques during every session. This format allows returning students to continue expanding their knowledge while building a stronger foundation in pastel painting over time. Those who enjoy the Tulips in Pastels workshop can look forward to future classes featuring different floral subjects and creative approaches. \nAbout the Instructor\nThe workshop is led by Deborah “Deb” Shea\, a nationally recognized and award-winning pastel artist known for her expressive floral paintings. Her artwork has been featured in numerous exhibitions at respected venues\, including the Triton Museum\, Chan Zuckerberg Community Space\, and the Society of West Coast Artists. Her work has earned recognition for its vibrant use of color and its ability to capture the elegance and energy of flowers through pastel techniques. \n \nIn addition to exhibiting her artwork\, Deb is also an experienced art educator. She regularly teaches at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe\, New Mexico\, where she shares her knowledge and passion for pastel painting with students of various skill levels. Her teaching style emphasizes both technical development and creative expression\, helping participants gain practical skills while encouraging them to discover their own artistic voice. \nBefore becoming a full-time fine artist\, Deb enjoyed a successful career in graphic design. Her transition into studio art allowed her to fully dedicate herself to creating works inspired by the natural world. Flowers have become one of her signature subjects\, as she is fascinated by their organic forms\, intricate petals\, and symbolic meanings. According to Deb\, flowers represent beauty\, hope\, renewal\, and positive energy\, themes that are reflected throughout her pastel paintings. \n \nDeb earned her Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art and Design from the University of California\, Davis\, where she studied under several respected artists\, including Ruth Asawa\, Wayne Thiebaud\, Roland Peterson\, and Frances Butler. She continues to expand her artistic education by pursuing a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. Her combination of professional experience\, formal education\, and years of artistic practice allows her to offer valuable insights to students attending her workshops. \nEvent Details\n\nEvent: Tulips in Pastels with Deb Shea\nDate: Saturday\, July 18\, 2026\nTime: 9:00 AM\nDuration: 3 hours\nLocation: ART BIAS\, Studio 114\, 1700 Industrial Road\, San Carlos\, California\, United States\nLanguage: English\nFee: $110 per class\nSupplies: All materials are included\n\nJoin this creative workshop and learn the fundamentals of soft pastel painting while creating your own colorful floral masterpiece under the guidance of an experienced professional artist. \n  \n\nSee other interesting events in San Carlos.
