Something different to end this webinar series with. This webinar will teach you how to use pastels in a very different way and paint with it.

By looking for big shapes, lines and textures within the landscape composition and responding to them in a semi abstract way will allow the initial layers with brush, pastel and water to do most of the work.

In this final webinar of this landscape series, you will learn how to balance the right kind of detail (without going to far) with lots of gestural pastel strokes with pastel 'painted' mark making to create rich colour layering to create a pastel painting with a really exciting and contemporary feel.

Since then, his unique style has grown with increasing respect and he has won numerous and continual awards in leading national galleries and open art competitions. His work has been exhibited at ‘The Mall Galleries’ in London with the prestigious ‘Pastel Society’ and the Society of Graphic Fine Art, with whom he is an Associate Artist.
