T4 2026 - Introduction to Pastels

Course Outline

Starts Tuesday evening 6 October 2026 Dates: Tuesdays 6-27 October and 3-24 November 8 weekly– 3 hour sessions Artist’s soft pastels are a fast, direct and easy-to-use medium which can be used to draw and paint in vibrant colours and with creative self-expression. Soft pastels can be combined with charcoal, natural ochres, pastel pencils and other media for greater definition and self-expression. They are a perfect way to start - or continue - your art journey. In this evening course of 8 weekly 3 hour sessions, we will explore and discover what pastels can do. Using animals, still life, flowers and Northern Territory landscapes as our reference and inspiration, we will investigate a range of techniques from the traditional to the experimental. Sessions will include tutor demonstrations, reference images, slide shows and practical drawing exercises. Come and spend some quiet time in like-minded company, relaxing and creating with pastels.
