This two-day workshop is designed for students with some knowledge of working with pastels and those with more experience.

Workshop Details
During this workshop you will be shown how to capture the beauty of a restful harbour scene in a painting twice the size of Clive's usual demonstration piece. With the low sunlight catching the harbourside buildings and the returning boat producing intriguing reflections in the gently moving water as you look down from the quayside, there will be plenty to challenge you and enjoy over the two days. You will be shown some simple and fascinating techniques of pastel application and with abundant group and individual guidance you will create a beautiful image to take back home.

Skills/Techniques covered
  • Different types of pastels and their effects
  • Layering and blending
  • Composition
  • Various methods of application

Materials are not included in the booking fee. The tutor will supply the pastelmat to work on at £4 per sheet. He will also have for sale a limited range of pastels of some of the required colours needed for the course that are not normally supplied in starter sets to be payable to the tutor on the day. The tutor may not have the facilities to take card payments for materials in the workshops. Please remember to bring cash or your cheque book.
