In this workshop participants can expect to learn techniques and tips using Soft Pastel to depict the major elements of the landscape. Amanda will share with you her approach and work through individual problems. We will spend time looking at the major elements and how best to approach them. Participants will supply their own subject material, reflecting their own areas of interest. This is not a “paint by numbers class” and participants are encouraged to develop their own individual styles. Those more experienced Pastelists or participants who have worked with Amanda before can expect more challenging exercises.
