Lorraine Moore reviewed: Animal pastel drawing workshop

"I really enjoyed the day. Relaxing small class of 5 people who were all very friendly. Decided to give pastels one last chance after struggling with this media for some time and after some great advise and encouragement from Sarah I not only produced a picture that I was really pleased with, but I can't wait to try pastels on other pictures. I learnt a lot from Sarah and will be looking out for more of her workshops in the future."

Black Cat Art responded:

"Hi Lorraine, I'm so glad you enjoyed the day and found it relaxing. You're not alone in finding pastels difficult to work with but I'm really pleased that you now feel better equipped at tackling another drawing. It was lovely to have you in the small group of students, you were a pleasure to teach. Best wishes, Sara"

Ruth McGrady reviewed: Animal pastel drawing workshops

"What a fabulous day! I had dabbled with pastels many years ago without much success, so I thought I would give Sara's workshop a go to see with some guidance things would be different and they were. Sara guidance and pace was excellent and I produced a really nice work of art( I'm the one holding the Sheep pic in the course images). I learnt so much that I am now very confident to use pastels for future projects. Thanks Sara"

Carol Parrett reviewed: Animal pastel workshop

"My daughters bought me the voucher for my birthday. I attended with my friend and thoroughly enjoyed the day which was in a lovely peaceful setting. We learnt the different techniques to make our animal portraits and I was very pleased with the results. I was amazed how you can make the eyes so lifelike. Thank you."

Black Cat Art responded:

"I'm so pleased that you both enjoyed the day and went home with a finished drawing. You achieved a lot in what felt like a short time. Drawing the eyes can be such fun as they make so much difference to the drawing. I hope you have been inspired to do more pastel drawing in the future."

Cathy Smith reviewed: Animal pastel workshop

"My friend bought this art day for us both. We attended on Saturday and it was great, I had never used pastels before so was very much a beginner. With gentle instructions we progressed through the day and I was very pleased with my efforts. Some of the other clients had some very impressive work. I would do this class again"

Black Cat Art responded:

"Thank you so much for such a lovely review! I am so glad you enjoyed the day. I will have more workshop days in late spring and during the Bucks Open Studios exhibition mid June if you fancy doing another. :-)"
