Accurate Portraits in Pastel
Bring your portraits to life with colour, character and vibrant pastel!
In this exciting weekend workshop, we’ll explore the secrets behind creating accurate, expressive portraits in pastel — from getting the drawing right to capturing the personality of your subject.
We’ll uncover the tricks and tips, explore the do’s and don’ts, discover the rules that help create a successful portrait — and, most importantly, learn when and how to break them!
Then comes the really exciting part… COLOUR!
We’ll dive into the fascinating details of the face — the eyes, nose, ears and skin — and discover how colour can transform a portrait from a good likeness into a vibrant, living character.
We’ll explore a range of New Zealand skin tones, learning how to layer and combine pastel colours to achieve depth, warmth, luminosity and incredible vibrancy.
Whether you’re looking to improve your accuracy, strengthen your colour skills or simply breathe more life into your portraits, this workshop will give you new techniques, fresh inspiration and plenty of opportunities to experiment.
Come ready to draw, explore colour and discover the magic of portraiture in pastel!
