Italian streets is the fourth in my Autumn Series of soft pastel workshops. Inspiration for your next holiday or an excuse to visit a pretty coffee shop. We’ll tackle this street scene, together, covering tips to simplify a scene and give you confidence to tackle a similar image. Plus, we’ll cover tips on using your sketchbook to capture inspiration from your daily walks. Plus, it’s all recorded so you can repeat and work at you own time and pace.
