‘What to use and what to lose’ One Day Pastel workshop with Richard Suckling

Price range: £60.00 through £130.00

In stock

On this one day soft pastel workshop we will be tackling how we can simplify a subject for maximum effect. Editing a complicated scene and capturing the essentials in any medium can be challenging and we will look at various techniques which allow us to do this successfully. This approach will help painters loosen up and not be trapped by the unnecessary detail in a subject  whilst still allowing us to capture the essence of the motif. This workshop is suitable for pastel artists of all abilities including beginners and will have something to offer painters in other mediums dealing with this aspect of the painting process.

A home cooked lunch and all refreshments are included.
