This one-day, pastels workshop is designed for beginners and improvers.

During this workshop we will create a pastel painting depicting both the power and the beauty of the sea. Using various techniques of pastel application, you will learn how to render the movement of the waves and capture the dazzling reflections on the water in a truly convincing manner. Clive will work on his own piece during the session so students can observe the process of development using this versatile and accessible medium, whilst offering abundant guidance along the way.
