The Mirrored Landscape in Soft Pastels - May 24th, 2026
Join us for a beautiful and welcoming introduction to the world of soft pastels in this Mirrored Landscape Soft Pastel Workshop — thoughtfully designed and perfect for beginners.
In this inspiring session, you’ll create a luminous mirrored landscape filled with atmosphere and reflection while learning foundational pastel techniques in a relaxed, supportive studio setting.
Why Soft Pastels?
Soft pastels are a joy to work with. Their rich, velvety pigments deliver immediate, vibrant colour with no drying time. They allow for:
- Effortless blending
- Expressive mark making
- Beautiful layering
- Soft atmospheric effects
- Bold, painterly texture
Unlike other mediums, soft pastels let you work intuitively and directly with colour, making them especially wonderful for beginners exploring confidence and creativity.
What You’ll Learn
This workshop focuses on building strong foundational skills while completing a finished 5x7" mirrored landscape.
Students will explore:
- Blending techniques for soft skies and water reflections
- Mark making for texture and movement
- Working on thick soft pastel paper ideal for layering
- Creating depth and contrast in a small format (5x7")
- Building confidence through guided, step-by-step instruction
You’ll leave with a finished artwork and the skills to continue exploring this vibrant medium.
🖌 All Materials Included just bring your creativity and willingness to explore.
