3 day Plein air pastel workshop in Crescent Beach

Hello Tampa Bay Pastel Society members,

I wanted to send you some information about a pastel workshop we're having in conjunction with this year's Crescent Beach Paint Out. This is the fifth year for our paint out and we wanted to do something different. So, we've added a series of pastel, watercolor and oil workshops for artists of varing levels. One of those workshops is a 3-day plein air pastel class led by Christophe Cardot. The workshop will be held October 25-27, 2009 in Crescent Beach - just south of St. Augustine, FL. The price is $275 and includes admission to our Artist Retreat functions as well. For more information, you can refer your membes to our website - www.crescentbeachpaintout.com.
