Soft Pastel Skills and Still Life Studies
with Maxine Thompson
This two-day workshop will zoom in on the application of pastel and is perfect for beginners and intermediates. Learn how different strokes create texture, how to apply light and dark to develop shapes. With a focus on drawing still life objects, we will explore colour mixing, shaping with light and shade, making shiny things shine, finding perspective and drawing transparent glass.
This workshop will teach you wonderful foundation skills to help you build on your soft pastel application and observation skills.
