5 Day Pastel Challenge: Autumn Rains with Stephen Fuller

By Unison Colour

We’re very excited to bring you another 5 Day Pastel Challenge!

Be transported to stunning upland regions in Autumn, with Stephen Fuller.

Monday 30th September – Fri 4th October

Associate Artist, Stephen Fuller, will challenge you to produce a beautiful landscape depicting a rainy Autumn day with both birch trees and a distant ridgeline caught in shafts of sunlit.

Through a series of short daily videos you’ll enjoy:

  • An introduction to tone as a tool for achieving depth in pastel landscapes.
  • An introduction to colour as a tool for achieving depth in pastel landscapes.
  • An introduction to lost and found lines as a tool to add interest.
  • A consideration of use of light as a tool to add drama.

The challenge takes place in a dedicated Facebook Group where you’ll learn and develop new skills alongside a vibrant community of likeminded artists of all experience levels.

Each evening, Stephen with host a Live Q&A session in the Facebook Group, answering all you questions.

It’s completely free to take part, and there’s a 16 Half Stick soft pastel set that Stephen has put together specially for the challenge, and it’s almost as beautiful as Stephen’s painting! Sign up to the challenge and you can get a 20% discount on the set!

Colour Chart Guidance

We believe the colours in our web based colour chart are a faithful representation of our pastel range. But with any colours portrayed on the internet, there’s a whole heap of variables which mean that what you see, may not be what we see. That said, there’s some things that can be done to mitigate some of the variance.

Mobile phone and tablet screens tend to be pretty good for colour, so they’re always worth using, when viewing our colour chart.

We hate to say it, but cheaper computer displays, including laptops, can be rather hit and miss, in both colour and contrast, so they might not reveal the depth of the colour, as well as the true tone.

If you’re really keen on getting your computer up to speed on colour representation, you can use a calibration device to reach your display's fullest potential.

With all that said, if you think we’re way off the mark with any of the colours then, by all means let us know, and we’ll give it another shot.
