Learn to Draw with Pastels - Beginners & Beyond

Dominique Millar, Red and White Chalk, Seated Male Nude

From the time of Leonardo da Vinci onwards, artists experimented with developing pastels as a means of combining the benefits of the naturally occurring drawing medium of the chalk pencil with the rich variety of pigments used in paints.

Over the term students will:

  • learn to select a “palette” of colours
  • learn to use pastels from monochromatic underlayers to full colour
  • understand the difference, similarities and the integrated use of natural chalk pigments and artificially bound pastel colours.


MATERIALS LIST

  • A variety of A3 coloured papers – buff and blue-grey
  • Oil-based sanguine red chalk pencil
  • Oil-based black chalk pencil
  • White chalk pencil
  • Stanley knife for sharpening
  • Kneadable eraser
  • Two paper stumps
  • A moderately priced Faber Castel box of 36 soft chalk pastels will be required from Week 3.

(The above materials are essential for being able to undertake the course. A chalk pastel box of 36 pastels is a minimum).
Additional materials may be suggested throughout the term.


When:
Monday 22 October -  10 December 2018
10.00 AM - 1.00 PM


Where:
Art Est. Art School (Main Studios)
Unit 4/67-69 Lords Road, Leichhardt 2040
