SELF STUDY COURSES.

Steps From The Easel

Do you want to keep learning and continue to enjoy the wonderful Pastel Medium?
This is an opportunity to set your own study pace in the time that suits your lifestyle.
You can benefit from lessons that cover topics that have been offered in studio time by Lyn. As she shares her years of experience, tips and processes, including things to avoid, you will have a 'front row view' in video of each activity and painting as Lyn shares her steps to painting straight from her easel.
These courses each have a theme. They are stand alone courses but of course each one will add to the understanding of the painting process of our wonderful pastels. They explore differing subjects, land and seascapes under differing skylights both inland and coastal. This is an opportunity to paint in your own time, no matter where you live. The lessons are all direct videos made by Lyn and she shares and guides you with the methods she has found to work so well during her 30 + years with soft pastel.
These lessons differ from Zoom lessons as there are no painting assessments.  Self Study Courses are either single subjects, short or longer topic series Clouds -6 lessons Salt Water 1 - 4 lessons Dark Water in the High Country - single subject with 2x bonus lessons. Sunlit Shallows - single subject with extra mini session. Students have private access 24-7 for 12 months so can work at their own pace. Further classes are being added regularly.
