Introduction and Setup video available to watch now!
Caitlin will talk you through the process of creating your botanical set up, choosing your colour palette, through to the finishing touches on your artwork.
Caitlin has a unique approach to using pastels, weaving colours together like a tapestry and this workshop will show clear demonstrations of how she creates this effect and how you can weave it into your own artwork.
Pastel paper - I recommend Claire Fontaine Pastelmat paper
Unison Colour Pastels - You can purchase the challenge pack of 16 half sticks, or select 16 colours from your own collection.
Botanical set up - Caitlin will make suggestions for how to go about this in the workshop, though she also provides resource images if you aren’t able to create your own set up. She recommends gathering together a collection of plants and/or flowers.
Pastel fixative - this is to prevent smudging once your piece is finished. Caitlin uses Unison Colour’s fixative.
