POST-WORKSHOP UPDATE


The Pastel Workshop with Walter Stanford was a total delight. We had so much fun, and on top of that, we learned a lot—especially about SHAPES!! 


Walter was very patient with us and answered all the questions we had to our satisfaction. The method he is using is very different from what any of us are using, but the results speak for themselves, his paintings are VELVET LIKE, very smooth but yet detailed. 


Thanks Walter!

POST-WORKSHOP UPDATE:

"We had a wonderful workshop with Paul, we tried our luck on a still life with graphite pencils on the first day. The second day was our start with charcoal, we learned how to "lift" the applied charcoal powder off the paper and create a landscape. The process was new to everybody but thanks to Paul's teaching skills and "sharp pencils" (inside joke), we turned out a few really nice paintings." Jutta
