SUMMARY:Pastel Painting - Tauranga Society of Artists
DESCRIPTION:Pastel painters love the immediacy of drawing with a rich and painterly colouring power. If you haven’t used them before you may be surprised at how easily the essential techniques can be mastered. Learning to handle the pastels and the attractiveness of the work you can produce is very satisfying.\nYou are welcome to attend Mary’s sessions and see for yourself the versatility of this medium which is suited to either large\, ambitious compositions right down to small quick sketches. The whole pastel process is one of ease and simplicity – no palette to organise\, no canvas to prepare\, no need for water or turps and no clean-up afterwards.\nMary is passionate about her medium and will welcome you to her sessions to share the pleasure of working with pastels and will show the various types of pastel available\, their wide range of colours\, subtle hints and textures. \nFirst and Third Monday Mornings of each month – continued in the afternoon\n\nMorning 9.30 – 12.00\n\nAfternoon 12.00 – 4.00 \n\nConvenor is Mary McTavish\nEmail: jhmemcts@gmail.com
