Capturing the character and energy of animals.
Pastels and pastel pencils are a wonderful medium for capturing movement and textures. We will look at form, structure, where to use detail, and where to leave it loose.
Rebecca will start the day with a demonstration of how she uses pastels, Conte crayons and pastel pencils to draw and paint animals, and then you will spend the rest of the day working on one or two pieces of your own.
You can bring your own reference, or Rebecca will have a selection of reference available to use.

This will be a course to suit all drawing abilities apart from complete beginners. Everyone can progress at a pace they are happy with.

Materials
Materials are included in the course fee. We will be using Unison Pastels, Conte crayons, pastel pencils, and a variety of surfaces. You are welcome to bring your own materials if you prefer to use them. We will have plenty of room to spread out in the hall.
