This five-day workshop is perfect for adult beginners who are new to soft pastels or would like to revisit the basics. You’ll be introduced to different types of soft pastels, papers, and essential materials including charcoal. Through guided exercises and demonstrations, you’ll explore a variety of techniques including drawing, measuring, blending, feathering, and layering. Each day will build your skills as you progress from simple colour mixing to painting complete still life, landscape and animal studies. You’ll finish the week with a solid understanding of how to start, build, and complete pastel artworks.
