Working with Soft Pastels Workshop
Course introduction
By enrolling on this course you will explore the use of soft pastels for a variety of topics. These will include landscape, seascape, flowers and buildings. You will experiment with direct applications and a subtle approach to blending. You will also learn how to mix colours, lift off colour, and combine different methods of applying the pastel.
