Kingfisher Pastel Workshop

On 3 March from 10am - 1pm, Andrea Naylor will be returning to Oakham's Victoria Hall with a new Kingfisher pastel workshop.

Cost is £40 per person including all materials

These workshops will give you a good insight into how to use both pastel sticks and pastel pencils. We trace an outline so there is no need to be accomplished at drawing or sketching. Following my step by step guide you will learn techniques and tips on how to layer colour and make marks to create depth, vibrancy and realism. At the end of the 3 hours you will walk away with a finished portrait, ready to frame and hang on your wall!
