Expressive Florals in Mixed Media
In this colourful class, we’ll create bold, expressive floral artwork using mixed media on A3 toned paper. I’ll show you how to work with Caran d’Ache Neocolor pastels – a wonderfully versatile material that can be layered like oil pastels but also activated with water for a painterly effect.
We’ll build up rich textures and vibrant colour, then refine our pieces with pencil to add detail and depth. If you’re drawn to florals or simply want to loosen up and explore new materials, this is a fun and energising way to dive into creative play.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or just getting back into making art, you’re very welcome.
