In this live class, join Pastel Society of America Signature Artist Jennifer L. Hoffman to explore various approaches to pastel color mixing in this 2-hour exploration. Using birds as subject matter, Jen will guide participants through the concepts of visual color mixing, blending, underpainting, and color play by creating the same composition in three variations.

Suggested Supplies to Bring:
For this class, participants are encouraged to bring their own soft pastels. Participants will have plenty of materials to explore from both the Museum and Jen’s personal art supplies, but bringing your own pastels will help you get the most out of the class. If able, please bring:
-Your favorite soft pastels in a range of light to dark values and a variety of colors (no oil pastels, please).
-A small set of high-quality soft pastels, such as Terry Ludwig, Sennelier, Great American Artworks, Richeson, is suggested. Half-stick sets are a great, more affordable option.
-Please avoid inexpensive “chalk” sets, as these are simply dyed chalk and won’t mix or blend effectively.

Join us for an evening of sips and small bites featuring art, artifacts, and music to benefit the Museums of Casper. You’ll enjoy a progressive evening of appetizers, desserts and activities as you are chauffeured to four of Casper’s favorite cultural hotspots. We’ll begin our journey at The NIC where you’ll park and be greeted by the sounds of Adam Smith at the piano and treated to Queen B. charcuterie. Participants will be led on a behind the scenes vault tour. Next, you’ll be shuttled to ART321 where guests will experience Dino Dreams – a playful, nostalgia-fueled exhibit. Grazing and shopping is also on the menu as you enjoy canapes and unique items in their gift shop. At the Tate Geological Museum you’ll enjoy small bites and a brief talk about what makes Wyoming a paleontological paradise. Couples can choose to compete in a scavenger hunt for dinotastic prizes. Our final stop will be at the Casper College Alumni Association Art Gallery. Gabrielle Reeves’ “Water” will be the featured exhibit as you partake in a bounty of desserts. Board the shuttle and you’ll be back to The NIC by 9:00pm.
