Patricia Tribastone, winner of over twenty-five art awards, will teach ‘painting with pastels’ at View on Sunday, May 5.
Tribastone’s still lifes are painted realistically. In her workshop, she and the participants will focus on form, value, vibrant color and light and shadow.
“Pastels are a medium with dried pigment and a binder of calcium carbonate, clay, pumice or something of the kind,” Tribastone said. “We paint with them as we would draw, only with the color and the pastels right in our hands.”
Tribastone has participated in numerous international shows hosted around the United States. She’s taught pastels for over ten years, around New York State, branching out into Pennsylvania, and regularly in the Rochester area, where she has a studio.
This is Tribastone’s first time teaching at View.
Her work is sold at 3040 Gallery in Old Forge as well as in the Rochester area. Her work has been published in three editions of “American Artist” magazine. Tribastone has had entries in View’s pastel show since its inception. Her still lifes and portraits can be viewed at www.patriciatribastone.com.
“I set a really relaxed atmosphere. We have a good time. Workshop participants learn while they’re having fun, using rich color,” Tribastone said. Artists of all experiencelevels are welcome.
The workshop will run from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Cost is $85/$75 for members.
