Intermediate Soft Pastels with Sue Schreiber, artist

Take your soft pastel skills to the next level with experienced tutor and practising artist Sue Schreiber. This intermediate course is designed for students who have completed the beginner class or already have a solid foundation in drawing.

Dive deeper into the expressive potential of pastels as you explore colour theory, tonal balance, and composition to create artworks with greater depth, realism, and confidence. Through guided exercises and preliminary sketches, you’ll refine your understanding of proportion, angle, and perspective, culminating in a new pastel artwork each week.

Pastels are a wonderfully versatile and forgiving medium,

ideal for use on paper, board, or canvas. Their rich, velvety finish captures the luminosity of paint — without the mess!

This course is perfect for artists who are ready to expand their creative skills, experiment with advanced techniques, and develop a personal style in chalk pastel drawing.
