We are thrilled to announce a two-day pastel workshop, Pastel Portraits – People and Animals, presented by the Pastel Society of Australia at the Vancouver Arts Centre. This unique opportunity is led by award-winning artist and Master Pastellist, Maxine Thompson, known for her incredible talent in capturing the essence and character of both people and animals.

 

Maxine’s workshop will cater for all skills levels from beginners through to accomplished artists who want to experiment with the soft pastels medium. Maxine will help you achieve the likeness of your subject. More than that, through small exercises, Maxine will demonstrate and guide you while providing her special tips and tricks to create facial features that capture emotion and character, whether in people or animals. Aim to bring your own close-up reference photos (although photos will be provided also) and be amazed at how Maxine can equip you to create meaningful and expressive artwork at the end of this two-day workshop.

 

 

Maxine’s workshops are a fantastic way to hone your skills, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist. Don’t miss this chance to learn from one of the best!
