Pastel is a fabulous medium for working with expressive colour in a spontaneous and creative way. In this workshop, inspired by the beautiful surroundings of Sussex Prairie Gardens, we will explore techniques for creating rich layers of colour. You will learn how to apply the pastel, make expressive marks and use inspiring colour combinations as well as how to select papers for your subject matter.

Suitable for beginners and more experienced artists.
