Burdekin Art Society Pastel Landscape Workshop March 2023
What a welcoming and generous group of artists attended this workshop. With a focus on introducing texture, the first day was spent on exercises in stroke making to denote texture, then adding AS pastel primer for texture, and lastly, using white tissue paper , gesso and a palette knife to create even more texture. On the second day, participants created a larger landscape suing these techniques. Thank you to Luisa for organising, and Barb for running me around, and I was so glad to finally meet June, with whom I had been communicating over all these past year when entering
Off to Burdekin March 2023
Fortunate to win the pastel sections a few times in the Burdekin art awards, the Burdekin Art Group has asked for a workshop on how I create the texture in these pastel landscapes. Flying in to Townsville, then driving to Ayr, I will be staying with these friendly people and delivering a two-day workshop including landscape theory and pastel techniques - using pastel wet and placing texture on pastel paper.
