Bold Pastels; Richard Suckling returns!

“Be bolder with your Pastels"

This full day course will concentrate on encouraging a bolder approach to pastel painting. We will discover how being more daring with our mark making, colour choices and compositions will help us to push our pastel painting beyond the purely representational approach to the pastel medium.

‘My workshop will encourage students to step out of their comfort zone for the day and to embrace their pastel wild side!

This course will be suitable for all abilities.

The room opens at 9.30am. Session starts at 10:00am.
