Richard Crabtree Pastels Workshop

The workshop was well organised with Margaret arranging the preliminary work as suggested by Richard, so the group could get straight in very quickly to the actual pastel work.The workshop was very busy and everyone seemed to get a good result and enjoyed getting messy!

Roy - "Several firsts for me in this workshop, as I had never used Pastels, Tracedown or putty rubbers before. Apart from getting really messy, which annoyingly soon got transferred to the paper the workshop was both fun and informative, and I learned some new tips and techniques."

Ron - "I found the workshop on pastels very enjoyable and enriching, I learned a lot from our tutor, Richard Crabtree. He took time to explain his technique as well as demonstrating it in a way we could follow. I'll certainly be trying pastels again"
