Student Experience Level: Some experience needed

​

In Spring Summer Autumn or Winter even in Australia, trees tell us a different story and with constantly changing weather and light they take on many guises.

​

In this Workshop you will be shown how to use pastels to paint in a non traditional way, washing in the pastel with Isocol spirit to create visual texture.

​

Using colour groups and shapes as an under painting then using Soft Pastels to define and bring out detail in the painting. This style of painting is creative and impressionistic and does not need accuracy.

​
