Birds in Pastel Workshop

Let's do this

Birds are fascinating and can seem quite daunting to draw. Their beautiful colours set them apart from the rest of the animal kingdom, and while they are often dainty in appearance, they have bold little lives.

Join me in a Pastel Pencil workshop with a focus on creating indigenous bird drawings. For this workshop we will be using Panpastel as our base for a detailed pencil drawing.

What you can expect

In this workshop we will start at the very beginning – from picking your reference image, editing composition and colour for your preference, to planning and creating your basic drawing.

We will discuss art supplies and the right tools and paper for the job, techniques for visually communicating light and simple tips for creating your initial underpainting in Panpastel.

I will share my process and techniques I have learned for creating a realistic drawing in pastel pencil, and even though our subject for this workshop is Birds, these techniques can be applied to all subjects.

You will leave this workshop with your own drawing and we will also chat about packaging and preserving your pastel artworks.

My style is very informal and I promise this will be a fun jam-packed learning experience!
