Description
Learn how to create expressive, colourful artwork with soft pastels in this enjoyable four-week course.

This course suits absolute beginners as well as those wishing to refresh their artistic skills. Each week includes clear demonstrations, practical exercises and supportive guidance to help you grow in confidence.
