Bring your Still Life to Life with Cathy Pearce’s 12 Month Still Life Pastel Academy Course

Master Still Life with Cathy Pearce in this huge course over on Pastel Academy. Above is a taster of the brilliant tuition from Cathy.

My aim is to break down the huge genre of still life into little chunks that you can practice and perfect each month. By month 12 you will easily compose your own still life and paint it with confidence in pastel. Still life is the perfect excuse for observational work… essential practice to improve your art skills generally and you will always have a subject to inspire you.

You can enjoy this and dozens of other pastel courses over at the Pastel Academy for £19.99/month and you can get your first month for just £1.

Dexterity and Mark Making

How we use and hold our pastels will determine what amazing marks we will make. Eventually, with practice and discovery through play, this will create our style.

Gold Splashes Through the Dark Oaks

With a grin I sometimes introduce myself as the mad lady who paints the hill. Roundway Hill near Devizes in Wiltshire and the surrounding fields are my subject as I love to observe them every day.
