Teaching painting and pastels has been a passion for about 20 years. It is always an exciting process and one which is most satisfying.

In these pastel classes and workshops you will be shown how to use tone and colour with pastels. Discover the diversity of drawing and painting with the same medium, see how different strokes can create varied textures and learn about the layering process.

It’s fun, educational and satisfying.
