 A message from Dawn Emerson

"These sessions will be packed with new approaches developed since my book Pastel Innovations was published in 2017. You'll enjoy lots of mini-demos followed by half-hour sessions of hands on practice. I hope to share with you my passion for storytelling with color and mark-making and to leave your heads spinning with new ideas."
