ROBERT CARSTEN MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN Pastel and Watermedia All Levels In this fun and informative workshop, you will learn how to greatly enhance the expressiveness in your paintings by exploring the interactive qualities of wet and dry media.

Whether your preference is traditional, impressionistic, expressionistic or contemporary modern, these media fit together like a hand in glove.
