Good news! The Pastel Pencil workshop, January 12/13 at the Victorian Artist's Society will be going ahead. There are still a few spots left, so don't think you have missed out, but go to the VAS website and book online to secure your place as soon as you can.
Pastel pencils are a wonderful drawing medium; they seem familiar to us the moment we pick them up and start to draw. They are a versatile medium, slightly softer than a traditional 'hard' pastel stick like conté but harder than a soft pastel round. As the pastel is encased in wood it makes it really easy to handle and use - with far less dust than soft pastels.
Although the workshop is branded as 'pets', the techniques I am teaching translate well to other genre. If you are a beginner in this medium, a good starter set is the Staedtler Mars pastel 6 pencil set - available at Officeworks - in store or online. Additional colors will be available for you to borrow as required. A full list of requirements is provided to you when you book. The medium is great fun to use and I guarantee you will enjoy working with them.
