Join local and experienced tutor Charli, for a dynamic and inspiring one-day workshop exploring the expressive power of soft pastels.
Whether you’re completely new to pastels or looking to build confidence, Charli will guide you through core techniques, from smooth base blending, to building layers and adding final details, as you create a finished piece inspired by skies, water, and natural elements like wildflowers.
Along the way, you’ll also explore how different papers, pastel brands, and fixatives affect your results, and learn practical advice for framing your finished work.
Charli’s love of soft pastels stems from their immediacy and accessibility, and she’s passionate about helping artists at all levels achieve beautiful results.
Expect a day full of colour, creativity, and encouragement.
Some papers and pastels will be provided, but please bring your own set if you have one, along with a notebook for tips and techniques.
No prior pastel experience needed—just curiosity and a willingness to explore.
