Zoom pastel workshop: Skies in Pastels
November 11 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Join us for a live zoom workshop, to capture the beauty and subtlety of skies with pastels. With tips for creating gentle light, soft mark-making and using lines of flow and perspective to create a sense of space, and to draw your viewer into a scene.
This demo will also include tips on using tonal contrasts as well as warm and cool colours to create atmosphere.
There will be a recording available the day after the session if you register for the event.
You will receive a detailed list of materials, photographs for reference, and a drawing to help you if you need it.
We will use soft pastels. You do not need to have the exact colours that Rebecca will use, but a range of lilac greys and warm lights will be useful, as well as some bright blues for the sky. We will work on a grey mid-tone pastel paper or surface for the main piece, and some practise paper for a tonal and composition sketch and other cloud sketches.
How the session works
I will be demonstrating in my studio, and my ever-patient husband André will be hosting the zoom session. You can ask questions during the demonstration, using the ‘chat’, and I can answer questions at the end, face to face.
A recording of the session will be available after the workshop if you have registered for the event.
