SUMMARY:Wading into Chalk Pastels
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that some of the most accomplished and famous artists in history used chalk pastels for sketching and finished works of art? Chalk pastels can be simple or complicated\, portable or cumbersome\, heavy-handed or light and airy. They marry well with other mediums and can express fine detail or swaths of raw colour. They are surface-sensitive and layer well when treated with care. Intrigued? Come and find out more and try your hand at a few simple pieces in this 4-day spring workshop that will have you set for some serious summer sketching!
