NEW Workshop for 2018
Pastel Workshop at Nambour
Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 November 2018
Two days of pastel adventures in the foot hills of Nambour on 8 acres of private property.
Day one is for the beginners, those new to pastel or those wanting a kick start to get up to speed again. I will take you through the Six Fundamentals Pastel Strokes and how to make those strokes/mark making count in your very own painting.
Day two is for the initiates or practiced plein air painters. No travel is involved we are painting on site. You will see how painting in the great outdoors is not so scary when you have the right tools and ways to go about it.
Come and join me for two days of learning and laughter as we have a unique pastel adventure together.
Class size is limited to allow for more time with every participant.
As an optional and not to be missed extra there is a camp oven dinner on the Saturday night and if your game bring a tent to stay over on site.
Let the weekend be a pastel adventure for all
