PASTEL ARTIST VISITS OUR DRAWING CLASS


Robin Nuse, a well-known local pastel artist, paid a visit to the HHS Drawing One class the day before winter break. Robin talked about pastel techniques, demonstrated them, and then led students in the creation of a small pastel landscape drawing.

Robin's web site describes her as working realistically in pastels and oils. Her subjects range from rivers, lakes, flowers and mountains to intimate glimpses of farms and the Connecticut River Valley. She showed her pastels and oils at the Howe Library in Hanover in December.
