21 November 2018 Workshop – Textures (Playing with Pastels)

Texture is everywhere! Your hair, an animal’s fur, the dimples in a golf ball, the spikes on a cactus or the stem of a rose, the rough surface of a rock or brick wall, wrinkles in a face or crumpled paper….

On Wednesday 21 November 2018 I will be teaching a workshop, using mostly hard and soft artists’ pastels, exploring textures. We will explore textures in two ways:

• painting on a textured surface with pastels
• accurately portraying a texture in a pastel painting.

Participants are encouraged to bring a photo of an animal or of something with texture, that they would like to create a pastel painting from. As this workshop is held at Attic Studios, their ample art book library will be available for further inspiration and ideas of things to paint.

The workshop will include a number of sketching and observation exercises, and then we will dive into creating a painting which features something of your choice that has texture.
