This 4 day course will focus on methods to achieve vibrant and expressive mark making in the landscape using soft pastel as the primary medium in a mixed media process.

Sarah Bee has been a member of The Pastel Society, and part of the Federation of British Artists, for almost 20 years.

During this time she has made it her mission to lift pastel painting from the doldrums of a long held dull and traditional reputation into the deserved spotlight of inspiring contemporary art.

Sarah has been teaching at Coombe for the past few years and is an exceptional tutor, generous with her skills and enabling many participants to progress in their work. Join Sarah on this course and have guidance to the limitless and varied mark making opportunities possible within her methods.

Achieve energetic work in the studio as an interpretation of sketches, words and information gathered outside in the stunning South Devon landscape.

Sarah will demonstrate regularly, and offer frequent individual tuition.
