Workshops

Demonstrating Pastel Techniques

Why not organise a soft pastel workshop for your group - either a full day or morning, afternoon / evening. These are both fun and interesting events for all ages. I normally start with a short demonstration leaving plenty of time for people to paint and have individual tuition.

As a qualified tutor of many years, and a Professional Associate and Demonstrator of the SAA I have taught many classes and workshops in residential and non residential Adult Education Colleges. Hallbower workshop 2005

I have also demonstrated the Art of Soft Pastel Painting to Art Groups in the North of England, and at many exhibitions, together with running a number of fun, team building sessions for companies under the Investors in People banner.

All my teaching features thoughtful, personal tuition to help students identify the variety of styles of picture making and encourage them to create their own style and preferences, plus lots of hints and tips on the techniques used by the professionals!
