Join Sandra for a dramatic pastel sky workshop exploring a wonderfully vibrant evening sunset.
Although I usually work from photos as the colours and shapes in the sky change so rapidly, I use this photo as a ‘starting point’ and let the work evolve and develop away from a ‘copy’ of the photo.

This workshop day took place in 2023, but the tutorial videos were pre-recorded. Also included is the recording of the live Q&A session that Sandra hosted online – lots more advice to be had from it!
The workshop was a follow-up to Sandra’s ‘Explore an Evocative Evening Sky’ 5 Day Challenge, referenced in Sandra’s Intro video above, and can be accessed here…

Thank you Sandra for a wonderful workshop. It has impressed upon me the need not to rush and to build up colour layers slowly. I am wont to rush to cover as much of the paper as possible as quickly as possible. I look forward to experimenting further with some of my own sunset photographs.
Thanks again
