You have only a couple more days to sign in for Rebecca de Mendonça’s online pastel session this Thursday, in which she will show you how to capture shine and reflected colour in your paintings. We would love you to join us — and, when you have enjoyed learning the art of pastel painting online with Rebecca, why not come and shine on her inspiring pastel course at the Watermill later this year? As ever, there are details and links below.
Rebecca’s online session is next Thursday, 4 March, at 2:30 in the afternoon British time (3: 30 in the afternoon Italian time; in the morning in the USA and Canada, precise time depending on which zone you are in.)
The relaxing and inspiring session will be full of tips and techniques for getting the most out of your pastels. Using a mixture of charcoal, soft pastel, hard pastel and pastel pencil, Rebecca will work on simple pastel paper to show how you can create the drama of lights against darks, and capture shine and reflected colour. This is the still life you’ll be creating:
