The Old Oak is the second in my Autumn Series of soft pastel workshops. Learn how to tackle greens, foliage and trees with confidence. Taking inspiration from your daily walks is one of my favourite ways of developing your creative voice. I’ll share my best tips for sketchbook tree studies alongside using light to add depth and interest to your compositions.Plus, we’ll cover tips on using your sketchbook to capture inspiration from your daily walks. It’s all recorded so you can repeat and work at you own time and pace. If you haven’t booked your space already you can join the Live session on 19th September at 10am -12 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 ) Uart 400 but you can use Pastelmat for a similar effect 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.

    This is a lovely workshop. It has something for everyone new learners and those more experienced . Lots of hints and techniques to use green. A lot of people have problems with greens and foliage . In this workshop you will find simple methods to utilise your pastels and not feel overwhelmed by trees and foliage. Thanks Nina!

  2. Fran Caldwell

    Another fabulous workshop from Nina. It was a joy to paint and whilst teaching us how to paint with pastel (and alcohol!) she is also giving lots of useful tips. Nina’s teaching style is wonderful, she had a way of putting you completely at ease which makes the whole experience so enjoyable.

  3. Jilly Hookham-Bassett

    This a very inspiring workshop , it makes you want to pastel very tree you come across and certainly see trees in a different light. As with all Nina’s tutorials, you are gently lead through the process of producing an amazing piece of work , the hints and tips stay with you for ever enabling you to produce your work.

  4. Gladys Torres Madriz

    A wonderful workshop, that will suit any artist’s level. You will be immersed in almost two hours of helpful teaching and tips to experience the versatility of soft pastels. Nina will guide you to complete a lovely artwork while she is sharing her thoughts and boosting your confidence!
