Worton Old Mill Pastel and Mixed Medium Painting
Weekend
Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th November 2008
Pastel and Mixed Medium
This is the third weekend course that Cath has run at Worton Old Mill.
Cath will again start from the techniques of drawing and sketching
towards collecting images and proceed to working with the
participants to finished paintings. This time she aims to introduce a
method of extending pastels into a mixed medium technique.
She will be asking those attending to collect textured papers and flat
interesting surfaces, such as leaves and feathers, in advance to use in
their work.
