and pastels. Find your preference for different colour palettes vs working in
Monochrome, experimenting with coloured papers and different drawing surfaces
To fully exploit the potential of these media.

This course is an ideal introduction to
Using pastels for anyone new it, or a great opportunity for those with more
Experience to apply the media in new and exploratory ways.

Each week we’ll undertake a series of
Short poses, and one longer pose to give us chance to really explore the
