Explore the possibilities of one of arts most alluring mediums, the pastel. Each week you will be introduced to a different aspect of pastel art, from still life to landscape and life drawing (with a live nude model). You will learn how to capture form, colour and atmosphere with different techniques. We finish with a personal project with advice and guidance on how to develop your own individual piece. 

The price includes a box of your own pastels to use in class and then take home as part of the course. 

Please wear clothes suitable for a studio environment and bring a bag or portfolio suitable for taking work home with you at the end of the sessions.
