Soft pastel is a somewhat overlooked medium that sits between drawing and painting, with its own distinct qualities. In this course you get to know the tools, explore what the pastel can do and learn how to work with it, using both a technical and a playful approach.
Everyone is welcome, from complete beginners to experienced artists. Exercises are drawn from still life and models, and the course also looks at works by old masters and contemporary pastel artists for inspiration. The focus is on awakening your sense of touch and discovering the sensitive yet dramatic potential of the medium.
