A pastel portrait has a dynamic three dimensional quality that far surpasses the static flatness of a photograph.

She concentrates on wildlife an animal portraits.
The Aim of the workshop will be to create a beautifully detailed wildlife piece of artwork.
There will be an additional £5 on the day if the student wishes to use Teresa’s pastels and paper.

Ability All welcome
Cost: £30
Rachel has been a professional artist for over 25 years, exhibiting and selling both internationally and locally (you may have seen her work in the Southwold Gallery). She moved to the Norfolk coast as a teenager. She is inspired by empty beaches, the changing seasons and light, and is influenced by new sights, sounds, tastes and colours. All of these experiences come alive in her paintings. She was the first female artist to have an exhibition at the Palace of Westminster.
This workshop will help to show how to work from still life and have fun with materials and colour, using a variety of materials: watercolours, gouache, acrylics, pencils, pastels, inks, etc. Hopefully you will find some freedom in the fun of art and confidence in handling different media in new ways to make art that is exciting and immediate.
You will be working with any materials you want to use, and adding different textures and effects, using what is in front of you for inspiration, not photographs, so that you are free from the restraints of slavishly copying to create truly individual paintings.
