Paint boldly with Pastels!
Pastels do not refer to pale tones of color.
Pastels are a dry medium used for both drawing and painting.
There is a great variety of colors in the pastel palette range that go from subtle colors to bold and brilliant ones. In fact, one of the most talked about characteristics of this medium is the amazing vibrancy of color! Pastels have a vibrant history dating back to the 16th century and are a major medium in fine art today.
By the end of this bootcamp, you’ll create captivating Pastel Paintings that resonate with abstract colors, visual textures, and captivating mark-making, and will have honed your mastery of the pastel medium itself!

LUZDY RIVERA
Luzdy Rivera is a bold portrait and figurative artist, from Puerto Rico, living in Massachusetts, USA. Luzdy's art is driven by human emotions through gestures, poses and expressions. Her use of color is intentionally bold, with visible texture, marks and brushstrokes. "I strive to create expressive and emotive art that is so much more than what I, as the artist, can see and feel, but more about what I can make others see, think and feel."
Luzdy has been a mentor with Bold School since 2021 and is a graduate of our premiere class, Bold Color Bootcamp.
