Flowers in Pastels | Lyn Diefenbach
Love Flowers? Enjoy painting? Combine the two passions and learn how to create pastels that are full of luminosity, dimensionality and light. Lyn will share her extensive knowledge of colour as well as provide you with the technical know-how to create the illusion of reality with pastels.
The building blocks of line, tone, colour and edge will be discussed extensively to lead you to a better understanding of these important areas. Focus will be given to the mixing of the palette and the skill of colour recognition. This is an area particularly pertinent to florals.
Enjoy clear, informative demonstrations and individual attention at your easel. You will use your own reference material so you can choose your own degree of difficulty or perhaps your favourite flower. Definitely the WOW FACTOR.

Through demonstrations and a series of ‘hands-on’ exercises, you will learn easy methods for creating floral paintings.
