You will have streaming access on our platform. The bandwidth will vary depending on connection speed and many other factors, but I would estimate around 5GB of data would get used for the event.
The demos are NEW content with some being live and some being pre-recorded with the artist talking live over the demo.
No, the beginner workshop is a separate registration fee beginning the day before the big event.
Cocktail Hour painting will be an image on the screen that everyone paints. It will have some interactive feature but that’s still TBD
It’s a Private Facebook for Pastel Live so that you can meet and stay in touch with other painters before AND after the event!
There will be ways to interact with vendors.
The Q&A will be a live text chat happening simultaneously with the prerecorded demo- very similar to our Facebook Live artist of the day events.
You will have replay access with different packages so you won't miss a thing!
We will be delivering the event through a combination of Vimeo video and Zoom for the interactive portions.
If you'd like to participate in the interactive portions, please have a working webcam and download the Zoom software.
