Chalk pastel has been used to great effect by artists through the ages, from Leonardo da Vinci in the 15^th century and Whistler and Degas in the 19^th to Paula Rego and Roger Hilton in the 20^th. Pastels are versatile and easy to use, delivering vibrant colours across a wide range of tones to create delicate and dramatic effects. Learn and develop a mastery of this enigmatic medium working from landscape and still life subjects under the guidance of an artist who continues the authentic approach of the much-missed Christopher Assheton-Stones. All levels of ability and an individualised approach is offered for previous attendees.
