Pastel Workshops
The Pastel Society of Australia hosts regular pastel workshops in across Queensland, New South Wales, and Western Australia. Led by Master Pastellists and experienced tutors, our workshops cover landscape, portrait, and abstract pastel techniques for artists.
Our workshops offer artists of all levels the chance to learn, grow, and create with pastels. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your skills, we have workshops tailored to help you achieve your artistic goals.
