“Life is Colourful” Pastel Course

Carol Schloss,  PSA

​

Educated at the Cleveland Institute of Art with a 5-year Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design, I spent over 30 years in Philadelphia as a Graphic Designer and Art Director.

​

In Cody, Wyoming, my draftsmanship and drawing skills combined well with pastels and my love of color and light.  Drawing provides the bones and framework, but to enhance the color I play with values and complements, layering and underpainting to approximate reality in an impressionistic way. 

​

Now relocated in British Columbia after 10 years in the American West, I’m an enthusiast of all things wild and natural, drawing on my years as a designer for composition, pattern and color. I’m honored to have been a winner of numerous awards and commissions, to have work in private collections across the country, and to have been exhibited across the western United States and Canada. Represented in a number of galleries over the years, I continue to invest a great amount of my time and energy in creating beautiful art.
