Pastel Landscape Painting with Ann Gillespie
2024-11-13 10:00 - 12:30 (America/New_York) | Fivesparks Gallery, 7 Fairbank Street, Harvard, MA, 01451, United States
Ann Gillespie is an award-winning artist in pastels and printmaking. Pastels have been her primary focus since 2012, with periodic forays in printmaking and other painting. She is passionate about landscape painting, especially painting “en plein air” which helps her observe color and light more directly and keeps her more connected to nature.
Ann has been teaching Pastel Painting at Fivesparks for several years. This class series will have a focus on local landscape inspiration. Basics will include use of underpainting, composition, color, values and mark-making. She will also help you consider your motivation for painting a scene to determine mood, what to leave in or out, and movement through a painting.
Each class will start with a demo followed by plenty of painting time and one-on-one feedback. All pastel levels are welcome but some previous drawing or painting experience is necessary.
Contact Ann to register at anngillespieart.com. Feel free to contact her with any questions and for supply list.
THIS CLASS SERIES IS FULL AND CLOSED FOR ADDITIONAL REGISTRATIONS. KEEP A LOOK OUT FOR ANN’S NEXT CLASS OFFERING!

2024-11-16 - 2025-01-04 | Fivesparks
A juried art show featuring art inspired by the balance between society and nature in the Nashua River Watershed.

The Harvard Conservation Trust is partnering again with Fivesparks to celebrate art and nature with a juried art show. This partnership will highlight the beauty of the diverse environments of the Nashua River Watershed: the river with all its tributaries, its wildlife, plant life and the lands and communities it nourishes.
This year’s theme is “Wild and Scenic”, offering artists the chance to reflect their interactions with and response to the wild and scenic Nashua River Watershed. Artists are free to interpret this theme in any way that captivates viewers’ attention and imagination.
