Yes the course is now finished Donna, Dianna said she might do another one in a couple of years time, if she does I will definately book it.

Thanks everybody, I am pleased with the end result and it should look really pretty framed

Fran I learnt so much about pastels in those three days, how to apply colour, how to blend, saw different pastels and papers, it was really worth it

Re: Pastel workshop - WIP so far


Yes I am hoping to do more pastels as they are normally a lot quicker also I would like to get a more loose style to my pastels but at the same time really concentrating on the eyes.

The only problem with pastels is they are a devil to send through the post as fixative does dull them down a bit.

Re: Pastel workshop - WIP so far


All of the pastels turned out really really good, we took some group photos, if I can get my hands I one I will post them up and you can see, some of the students hadn't done much pastel work at all and they were all REALLY good.
