‘Full of Energy’- Animals in Pastels
£90.00
One-day pastel course
Sunday 8th June 2025
10am to 4pm
Stoke Canon Jubilee Hall, High Street, Stoke Canon, EX5 4AP
It is an absolute joy to draw and paint animals with soft pastels. Textures, movement, personality, and form are such fun to capture, and pastels lend themselves to work that is full of looseness and energy that is more than just a copy of a photograph.
Rebecca will start the day with a demonstration of how she uses pastels for animal work, focussing on dogs, although you are welcome to draw whatever animal inspires you. You will spend the rest of the day working on one or two pieces of your own, with continued help and examples from Rebecca.
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.
