Workshop: Landscape in Pastel
Workshop: Landscape in Pastel
Carolyn began with a recap of the points on her demo along with another pastel painting.
She urged us to experiment with the different surfaces - samples were provided along with and the various grades of pastel, from hard to ultra soft. There was a lot of experimentation with the different types of paper, which ranged from something like sandpaper to those with a quite soft surface.
Carolyn circulated throughout, offering inspiration, advice and support - along with sharing her collection of pastels and other equipment. It was an excellent workshop which produced some terrific work - and also multi-coloured fingers!

The session was professionally conducted and each step explained so we could follow her tutorial using Pastels and pastel mat.
She helped everyone who was unsure and all produced a finished work from their own source material.
She was cheerful throughout and bought out the best of the artists abilities - we shall be inviting her back for another pastel session in 2025

I was fortunate recently to attend a workshop led by Carolyn. From the start she was utterly professional Her presentation was well prepared and she displayed a range of her finished work so that we were able to focus on her ultimate goal using the inspired techniques and effects for which she is so well known. The workshop took us through the preparation of a canvas for painting with pastels and subsequently she talked through and demonstrated each stage of the process until the painting was nished. She answered questions directly and in detail giving each student succinct and appropriate guidance at the same time showing a genuine interest in each student… and their individual work. Her friendly, kind and open manner, her ability to focus positively on each student and give praise and encouragement where due makes her an excellent tutor.

We are very lucky to be the proud owners of two of Carolyn’s amazing pieces of art. The first was a 60th Birthday gift for my husband of a favourite place that he swims at. The watercolour detail brought to life of the sea and beach, made it such a wonderful gift to give, creating an ever lasting memory of happy times. We were also fortunate enough to give our daughter a Christmas gift of our beloved dog Elsie. The expression captured Elsie perfectly and will be something we will cherish always.
