Several members of APS spent a lovely Saturday recently with instructor Vic Mastis exploring new surfaces and mixed media tools to use with pastels.  We played with patterned papers, spray paints, stencils and various mark-making options, and everyone ended up with unique studies as a result.  Vic shared some fun techniques that she’s been using and participants were encouraged to experiment with the materials and references on hand. 

Vic said “I can’t believe all the beautiful artwork that was started and produced!!  Time went too fast.  Pat yourself on the back for trying new things and going with it!”
