The session will be a mixture of sketching on location, learning pastel techniques and how to create impactful coastal illustrations that are full of energy and movement. Georgie will give all of her tips on colour choices, composition, depth of field, how to create sparkle on the water and hazy headlands in the distance. We’ll be using our observational skills to capture the weather and atmosphere of the landscape in which we find ourselves, looking at the beautiful patterns made by the sea washing over rocks on the beach.
Drawing en plein air is an uplifting and immersive experience, and you will leave the workshop with an artwork that you can hang proudly in your home. We will be working with a variety of artist-quality pastels. Whilst materials are provided, participants are advised to bring any pastels they own. As we will be choosing our own spots to draw from around the beach, access to certain colours may be limited.
The workshop is open to all skill levels. Ages 14+
Meeting point: Lime Kiln, North Side of Croyde Beach, Croyde Bay
