About Dolphins in soft pastel
Celebrate creativity this Valentine’s Day with a fun and uplifting Soft Pastel Workshop. In this hands-on session, you’ll explore the expressive qualities of pastels while bringing to life two dolphins leaping with joy.
Led by local artist Mary McEwan, this hands-on workshop introduces participants to soft pastels, a richly pigmented medium that allows you to draw and paint at the same time. Pastels are known for their bold colour, expressive blending, and immediate results — making them especially rewarding for beginners.
What You’ll Learn
* How to use and blend soft pastels to create smooth colour transitions
* Techniques for layering, shading, and adding movement and texture
* Tips for composition and capturing light and energy in your artwork
* Practical skills and techniques you can continue using at home
No prior experience is required, and you’ll leave with a finished piece and a better understanding of how pastels work as a creative medium.
Perfect for a creative Valentine’s outing, a playful morning of self-expression, or simply a joyful way to explore pastels!
