This advanced level course builds on previous learning or existing skills, allowing participants to dive deeper into the expressive potential of pastels as you explore colour theory, tonal balance, and composition to create artworks with greater depth, realism, and confidence. Through guided exercises and preliminary sketches, you’ll refine your understanding of proportion, angle, and perspective, culminating in a new pastel artwork each week. Pastels are a wonderfully versatile and forgiving medium, ideal for use on paper, board, or canvas. Their rich, velvety finish captures the luminosity of paint — without the mess! This is an advanced level course designed for students who have completed the beginner and intermediate courses or already have a solid foundation in drawing. For adults 16+This course will run Wednesdays from 15th July - 19th August 2026\n LOCATION:{event_metadata_event.location} TYPE:Workshops URL:https://www.cairns.qld.gov.au/facilities-sport-leisure/events/council-events/public-event-submissions/advanced-soft-pastels,-six-week-course-with-sue-schreiber,-artist PRIORITY:3 TRANSP:OPAQUE X-MICROSOFT-CDO-BUSYSTATUS:TENTATIVE BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:DISPLAY DESCRIPTION:The final instalment in the soft pastels classes for 2026 will take your soft pastel skills to new levels.
