Katka Adams 18 June 2022 Drawing with Pastels
Katka demonstrated how to draw an Autumn leaf using pastels. The various colours were combined and smudge resulting in a lovely image. We then set up a still life to draw.
Katka explained that we should focus on tone, the observation of light and dark, modelling, and creating space around objects. Our compositions can be seen below. A very enjoyable and satisfying day. Most of us had not used pastels but were surprised and happy with our work.
