Winter Wonderland Workshop- Online Art Workshops
£16.00
I will be using Unison Colour Soft Pastels to create one of my favourite winter wonderland scenes. It’s a festive workshop, so we’ll be celebrating a lovely year of online workshops. I invite you to watch me create this festive scene, sparkling trees, a snowy glow and simplifying people enjoying an evening. This workshop is part of my Autumn Series but can be bought individually.
Description
It’s Christmas and I’ll be celebrating with you in the studio. You can join the Live session on 15th December at 19.30 – 20.30 UK time or you can access as a recording at a time and pace that suit you. The Live video and recording is hosted in a dedicated Facebook Group or you can access the recording in other formats, you prefer.
You can paint along with me or just watch me and absorb the process to repeat at a later date. I suggest watching and drawing a second time, as it’s hard to do both things well, in my experience. I’m using ( approx 20 x 30 cm ) Fisher 400 (similar to Uart400) and Unison Colour pastels, learn more about the workshops here. You don’t have to use sanded papers but they make a huge difference to the vibrancy of your artwork when used with good quality pigments like Unison Colour.
When you buy the workshop, I will invite you to the Facebook Group via a link in the website receipt. If you are accessing it Live, the Facebook opens the day before the workshop. If it’s as a recording, the Facebook Group has the recorded video, bespoke colour chart and all the reference materials within the Facebook Group for you to access listed under “Announcements” within the Facebook Group.

An excellent workshop with some really good tips on the underlying sketch, perspective, painting buildings and people. Nina is able to teach in a way that is accessible to all levels of experience. Her feedback is encouraging and helpful. Note with all her workshops she sends out links and info that are really helpful to new students and reminders to the more experienced 😊

Another excellent guided workshop in the Autumn on line series. Top tips on preparation, materials and techniques. Step by step guide from drawing out to base layers, using alcohol (NO, not drinking) and creating detail and depth. I have completed all of Nina’s on line series and feel much more confident in using pastels. You can also draw along, if you’re confident and fast enough or watch and then follow at your own leisure. Also, each session is easily applied to your own scenes. The on line community is also a supportive and friendly world wide group.

Great workshop along with many previous ones taken. Nina has been an inspirational tutor.she is friendly and approachable also giving great advice for everyone from complete beginners to more experienced pastellists. From Sending out a list of colours and suggested supports beforehand to teaching you to keep the initial drawings simple and also tips on composition and how to take better photos for you to use. Her enthusiasm and joy in her art shines through. The workshops are also brilliant at helping you develop your own style .

Nina’s workshops are wonderful, full of Top Pasteling Tips and inspiration to lead you to create your own work.
Great to watch Nina work on a painting to see how it is built up from the beginning. The comments from the members read out by Russ really help to make it feel like a friendly group, not just an on-line art course. I always feel very welcome. With many thanks to Nina for her artistic skill and Russ for all the techy stuff.

It is a pleasure and a privilege to participate in Nina’s Lessons. Her tips on drawing, underpainting, atmosphere, perspective, color, values, blending have been so useful in every painting that I do. When I watch her videos, I feel like we are sitting right in my studio painting together. Her smiles, her sense of humor, her encouragement, and inspiration have wanted me to come back for more and more. We artists from around the world are painting together and sharing so many wonderful moments thanks to Nina. Nina brightens my day and adds beauty to my soul!

Great workshop by Nina. A real special Christmas special. This was so much fun to do, great tips and advice from Nina and great interactions from all the amazing people in this group. It is an honour and a pleasure to be part of this group and would recommend it and the workshops to anyone with an interest in pastels and/or a wish to learn more. Roll on 2023 and the Spring Term.
