Join Carol on this exciting opportunity to
paint in pastels in the Barle Valley in the
heart of Exmoor National Park.
This 4 day course will be predominantly
studio based but as the hotel is situated
in Simonsbath looking down the Barle
valley with plenty of painting potential
around the hotel, we hope to venture
outside to gather reference material.
You may choose to go for a walk, sketch
or alternatively remain in the studio to
work from reference photographs.
We will probably get out for a couple of
half days into the Barle Valley (weather
permitting) or you can have some
'down time' if you prefer.
Carol will demonstrate the various
stages of painting a subject using
pastels and will give plenty of one-to-
one tuition throughout. She is a highly
accomplished Artist in this medium,
producing images which are detailed
and realistic. She will show you how to
get the best out of your pastels using
many techniques including 'pastels with
water', sgraffito plus how to use pan
pastels. Carol is flexible in her tuition
and will adapt to the needs of the group
so that all will gain in confidence and see
progress with this medium.
