The subject of April’s Learn to Draw with Pastel course is this horse with reins.

Please note, due to so many people around the world being stuck at home at the moment due to Covid-19, trying to entertain themselves and maybe children too, April’s course will be completely free of charge.

About the course

As a group, we work from the same reference photograph over the course of a month, based on PDF instruction sheets and video tutorials. Course participants can share their progress in the course Facebook group and I am available throughout the month for individual feedback and tuition.

Working from a blank page without any drawing aids, the course will teach how to lay out the drawing, build up layers of pastel, choose and blend the right colours, learn about light and shading, add a background, learn about the materials you will be using and gain the ability to apply all of these skills to future drawings or paintings.

The next course start date is April 1st. You can sign up by joining the Facebook group here, or get in touch with any questions.
