In this 4 week flexible class you will join me as I teach you the skills required to be a confident soft pastel artist!
Each week I will share two videos with you. One will be a new technique which you can practise and share on the class page. Another will be a tutorial which will direct you through how to make a pastel masterpiece. You will be able to follow along with me as I draw using soft pastels, stopping the video as you go, so that you can add your own details into your work.

After you have completed the masterclass with me. I will set an assignment each week where you can put into practice the skills you have learnt, and use your own wonderful imagination to produce your very own art work! This can be shared in the class page where we will encourage and support each other in how best to move forward with our artwork. Throughout each week I will also present you with a Pastel Masters Scavenger Hunt, where you may research (using the links provided) famous artists who have used pastels just like the masterpiece you are completing that week. These great finds can be shared on the class page and all students can gain ideas from these to add to their assignments.

I will be available to answer and respond during each week. Once a week I will also hold a live question and answer session via the class link where you are welcome join and ask for advise or share what you have achieved so far in a live setting.
The course will include-

Week 1- Waves Crashing!
In this masterclass you will learn how to blend, and create wave-like formations crashing upon a sandy beach. Hopefully by the time the pastel masterpiece is complete you will be able to hear those waves!
