Would you like to achieve results like these...let me show you how!

   

 

Over 3 sessions, you can take your pastels to a different level. If you've always wanted to work on your own project of a family member, one of your pets or a favourite landscape scene, then now's your chance to do so.

It will take all of the 3 sessions to complete, but you will have a fantastic portrait created under the help and guidance of my tuition.

Please take a look again at the testimonials and project work by last terms students. Yes, it is all their own pastel work and they were mostly beginners.


All materials are supplied, a full lunch is included and expert tuition is always at hand so that you really enjoy the whole experience of working with pastels.

Dont forget....All you need to bring is your enthusiasm!
