Discovering Soft Pastels, with Lyn Evans.

This will be a step by step class with beginners going slowly and learning a lot, while the more experienced practice new techniques with as much support as they need.

During the day, Lyn will guide you through the composition process of creating your picture and will introduce you to the various ways of using pastels. She will help you to recreate a scene or landscape that Lyn will provide.  The day will start with students following me in mark making. It is important to see just what pastel is capable of, the joy it gives in its use and the effects that can be created.

We will work on during the day, each student will be working on pastel paper but will have the opportunity to buy and use the special sanded paper which is widely used for chalk pastel work, if preferred in the afternoon. Each student should have a small painting to take home at the end of the day, something to be proud of.

10am – 4.00pm
£82 Tasty home made lunch and fresh coffee included

Typically this course runs with around 9-10 students. Suitable for all abilities including beginners.

Please bring:  Lyn will bring all reference materials to work from. Students are asked to supply their own good quality pastels like UNISON or JACKSONS own brand.
Also a dark brown pastel pencil. 
£2.50 in cash for a sheet of sanded paper. 
A roll of masking tape and some newspaper for the floor please. 
You may wish to buy some more special sanded paper from Lyn in the afternoon.  Also, and only if you already have, an easel or small drawing board. 

The venue has a few desk easels in the studio for student use, plus a few full easels.
