Introduction to Soft Pastels

Discover the immediate and rich practice of working with soft pastel on dedicated pastel papers. In this workshop you will explore materials and safe work practices in a two hour class. We will play with mark making, basic composition and colour theory and develop a simple 3 colour pastel still life painting from observing fruit. Participants will have a base set of three primary coloured pastel sticks provided to start a collection of soft pastels.

Bring an apron and come prepared to play. Suitable for beginners or artists working in other media who would like to try soft pastel.
