Mangroves Online Workshop with Julie Skoda

By Unison Colour
24th May, 2023

Saturday 3rd June

Join Unison Colour Associate Artist, Julie Skoda, on an online workshop day, painting your own version of ‘Mangroves’.

Learn to work with a watercolour underpainting, experimenting to see how pigments blend together into each other, drip and layer.

Then working with the pastels, first with the wide edge of the stick to create the beginning shapes, you’ll graduate through to the smaller, more precise marks as the layers build, ending with the bright pops of eye candy to finish the painting.

Julie will be supporting you throughout the day in the dedicated community group, including 2 Live Q&A sessions, answering all your questions in detail.

Participants will be able to share their progress within the group and compare their experiences and even help each other.

The workshop is available for £50, or at no extra cost to all Pastel Academy members.

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.
