Create a vibrant and colourful abstract piece of artwork using soft and oil pastels in this introductory session led by artist Amber Bain.

Through a series of experiments, you'll use different techniques and tools to blend both soft and oil pastels and learn how you can mix colours in a variety of ways.

After you've practiced the different techniques, you'll discover which are your favourite and combine this knowledge to produce your own unique mixed media abstract artwork.

Equipped with tips and ideas you'll be ready to continue exploring this artform after the workshop.

There'll be time to ask questions and share your work during the session.
