Description

Relax and have fun in gorgeous surroundings of a professional working artist studio on the grand union canal (accessible from road , tow path r canal) . No pressure at all with this fun pastel workshop for all ages and abilities. I supply everything you will need to be able to create something special but more importantly hopefully give you the confidence supplies and knowledge you need to be able to create many more pictures in your own time. Come and learn how to draw and paint with the highest quality pastels in our stunning studio, on the grand union canal in picturesque Braunston. I have a fully stocked artist studio selling top quality art supplies at lower prices then you will find anywhere else. I will use my 30 years of experience with pastels to help guide you toward your finished picture without taking over, it’s really important for me that the picture is all your own work, I am just here to guide you if you need it. . I will show you tips and tricks to help you make the most of this amazing medium and importantly, how to fix mistakes as they happen. I really want you to get the very best from your art and take your own masterpiece home with you. I am a professional artist specialising in portraiture, landscapes and wildlife but any subject can be tackled, including abstract, you just need to choose something that inspires you to create something special. The whole day will be spent in a relaxed fun environment completing a picture using top quality artists Unison pastels and Stabillo pencils to give you the opportunity to try different brands and variations and to teach you the importance of pastel and paper quality. I work with individuals or groups of up to 10 people dependant on your own needs. The most important part of the day is that you relax and have fun learning a new medium and then have the knowledge you need to be able to use pastels in your own environment.

I am lucky to be living my dream, working in beautiful surroundings creating art. Being an artist can be quite isolating so I love to open my studio for workshops as it means I get to paint things that I wouldn't get chance to in my normal working day. I love to show people how to get the most out of a medium and see the excitement when a picture takes form. I am so happy to announce my new improved studio is now open to the public and I now stock quality art supplies at great prices.
