Hands in Pastel Pencil with Carole Massey

Join Carole Massey for a fascinating Arty Class to draw a typically challenging subject - hands.


Carole will show you a range of techniques for simplifying the whole process, leading you step by step through the drawing then showing you how to add shadows and highlights to create a stunning lifelike study. We will be working with a limited range of pastel pencils, but you could substitute for other pencils should you wish.


This live webinar was for our Patrons only but you can watch the YouTube video and share your drawings.
