Expressive Soft Pastels with Clare Buckle
Join artist Clare Buckle and find your landscape joy in the inspiring environment of Sussex Prairie Garden.
In this workshop we will explore soft pastels in an expressive way, working with spontaneous & creative mark making to establish impactful compositions & rich colour.
You will learn how to apply the pastel, how to choose or create surfaces to work on, the best ways to build colour, and how to preserve your work.
The cost of the workshop (£65) includes materials and all-day entrance to the garden, so once the workshop has ended you are free to explore at your leisure.
Clare Buckle studied Illustration at the Royal College of Art but is known for her fine art painting and printmaking focusing on aspects of landscape and unexpected places. When drawing outdoors pastel is her chosen medium for its immediacy and intense colour.
