Exploring Colour in the Landscape.

This workshop will encourage you to move away from representational colour in landscape-painting towards exciting interpretational work using soft pastel as the primary medium in a mixed media process

Sarah will focus on methods to achieve vibrant and expressive mark-making in landscape painting whilst using soft pastel as the primary medium in a mixed media process. She will guide you to discover the limitless opportunities of interpretational use of colour in the methods she uses.
