Learn how to draw this beautiful realistic home in pastels. We will approach this portrait one section at a time, as we draw together. Each step of the process is explained and demonstrated in-depth.

We will divide the drawing into six sections - background, roof, walls, windows, porch and landscape.
We will learn how to create smooth layers using soft pastel sticks and blenders.
We will master shadows to create depth and make our portrait look as realistic as possible.
You will learn how to draw nature elements such as trees, floral bushes, grass.
You will also learn how to capture the texture of bricks and tiles.
You will have fun and we will draw together in this informative, detailed class.

Why you should take this class:

By breaking down the portrait into sections and steps, you will build confidence when drawing.
By the end of the class you will not only be able to draw this beautiful home but other drawings using the pastel medium.
We will be focusing on house portraiture, however, there are general transferable pastel drawing skills you will learn in this class.
With the skills learnt, you may create amazing portraits for your friends and family, or even start a business.
