1
Light settings: night & snow
1 minLight doesn't behave the same way in a nighttime landscape as it does in a snowy landscape. Using dry pastels, discover how to make it stand out on dark paper or, conversely, how to preserve it in the illuminated areas of the snow.
2
Nature landscapes: forest & sea
1 minThere’s no need to draw every leaf or every wave to create a successful pastel landscape! By observing the shapes as a whole, you can easily suggest the vegetation of a forest or the movement of the sea without getting bogged down in the details.
3
Imaginary & fantasy landscape
1 minFor this fantasy landscape, Sanddy starts with a waterfall and transforms it into a floating island surrounded by clouds. This exercise in dry pastel invites us to move away from the model and allow more room for imagination.
