About The Demo:
Join us for a lively pastel demonstration in Brisbane with renowned PSA Master Pastellist, Chris Blake, as he recreates a rainy townscape captured from a bus window in Glasgow.
Watch how Chris builds the scene on a black pastel surface - simplifying complex elements, establishing perspective, and capturing wet reflections and diffused light. Chris will take his inspiration from his oil painting of the same subject shown here.
Ask questions, pick up practical tips, and enjoy a relaxed session with fellow pastel enthusiasts.
