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.
Lyn prefers not to spend a lot of time demonstrating as it eats into students time, but will willingly demo if a student is facing a problem. At that time, everyone who wants to, can watch. 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 udes 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.
Sunday 4 August 2024
Typically this course runs with around 8-9 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 SOFT pastels, a pencil and pastel paper. Bring a few £ if you wish to buy some special sanded paper from Lyn in the afternoon. Also, and only if you already have, an easel or small drawing board. We have desk easels in the studio for student use, plus few full easels.
