Learning Pathways - Drawing and Painting with Pastel
"Anyone can paint if they are given the right instructions.” - Marcel Desbiens, Master Artist and Principal Tutor

If you have limited or no experience with Pastel, then we recommend you start with Tricia Taylor who will help you learn the basics of Pastel painting in a friendly and supportive environment.
