Love Flowers? Enjoy painting? Combine the two passions and learn how to create pastels full of luminosity, dimensionality and light.

Lyn will share her extensive knowledge of colour as well as provide you with the technical know-how to create the illusion of reality with pastel.

The building blocks of line, value, colour and edge will be covered in depth to give you a rich understanding of these key areas. Lyn will provide information on pastels and pastel surfaces as well as application.

Enjoy clear, informative demonstrations and individual attention at your easel. You will use your own reference material so you can choose your own degree of difficulty or perhaps your favourite flower.

Definitely creating the WOW FACTOR.

Two-day Pastel Workshop

Saturday and Sunday 9.30-4pm

Tickets: $395

MATERIALS LIST

NB for florals: Please come with your composition already drawn up in a PALE pastel pencil or a colour pertinent to your bloom. Focus your composition more on one or two blooms so that it is more of a portrait of a flower.

Paper: 1 sheet (18 x 24”) of  UART 600 or white Ampersand Pastelbord or Fisher 400 paper. I suggest, with regards to size, to use no smaller than a half sheet. You may use the full sheet if you wish.

Pastels: bring what you have. Include colours suitable to your subject.

Backing Board: Not required for Ampersand Pastelbord. For UART 600 and Fisher 400 put another sheet beneath the one you are working on, especially if your backing board is foam core.

Brushes: ¼” Angle Brush – this is to brush away unwanted pastel.

Reference Photos: make sure these are large, clear images preferably with a good play of light and dark. If you are doing your own printing from a computer, make sure that you use photo quality paper NOT plain paper.
