Course outline
Pastels are one of the most versatile artist mediums and one that divides people – you either love them or hate them but do you really know them?
This 8-week course is designed for beginners interested in exploring the vibrant and versatile medium of pastel painting. You will learn foundational techniques, colour theory, and composition while developing your unique artistic style. Through hands-on projects, demonstrations, and personalized feedback, you will gain confidence in using pastels to create expressive and dynamic artworks.
Soft, hard, oil and pencil pastels will be covered along with different papers.
No previous experience is required for this course. We welcome complete beginners or improvers who have pastels but were never sure how to use them. On the first evening we will discuss different types of pastels and paper. You may already have some pastels, watercolour paper or a sketch book which can be used.
