Mississippi Mornings Art Studio presents “The Pleasure of Pastel Painting” with Pastel Artist Betsy Midthun, March 19th and 20th, 2026, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM each day. Pastel painting is an immensely satisfying medium and ideal for beginners. Whether you’re a beginner, or have some experience with pastels, after a brief introduction to materials, you’ll be painting a still life and landscapes. Betsy is an enthusiastic, engaged instructor who generously provides many of the supplies and tools needed for this class, allowing students to “experience” pastel painting before making a large investment.
