Online Pastel Learning

This has been a long-awaited project to launch but it’s happened! January 23 was the original launch day with a wonderful response, thank you everyone who popped in to the site and signed in or had a look.
 
NEW tutorials are available from May 30th.at  www.onlinepastellearning.com  

Online pastel learning is a service, for all those pastellists who can’t get to a workshop for whatever reason.   Often, it’s the travel that stops us, as distance, time and money don’t line up for a set date workshop. Also try being in two places at once, our calendars get so full don’t they?

That’s why I started this service, to make pastel learning a stay at home option. There are a lot of people who have mobility issues whether it’s being in a wheel chair, having to stay home for family or distance reasons, or can’t travel.  These Pastellists miss out on so much, so this is my way of helping out, reaching out to people in these situations.  We are a global community now, its possible to join in where ever you have a good internet connection.

 As tutors we try our hardest to get to rural and remote places and people. Again it’s the tyranny of distance and trying to be in two places at once that can stop us.  I have been to remote and rural  places teaching and love the connection, the coming together of kindred spirits for a weekend of not just pastel painting but social engagement. There is nothing to beat that.  I’ll still be doing live workshops too. 

So, this is my way of making that connection, albeit it’s online. It is providing a place for the pastellists doing the courses and projects to meet online and share what they are doing and more. It’s about connecting people with the same interest, offering a service for all to access any time it suits them 24/7 for a period of time.

The online courses are presented in the same way as I teach a workshop. I demonstrate and talk all the way through telling what I am doing and why. Yes, you can turn off the audio if that gets too much!!

My aim is to spark that creative flame of curiosity while giving you skills and confidence to explore this vibrant, versatile medium of pastel for your ongoing painting adventure.

Make time for you and for pastel painting. “making pastel happen” is there for you.
