People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography.

The venue was changed due to weather conditions, so trying to paint water from a printed picture was not ideal. However the tutor explained how to use the brushes and paints well,. Individual attention was excellent.

I started drawing with coloured pencils in March this year.I started experimenting with pastels in August and immediately fell in love. This is my second attempt with pastels pencils and I am thrilled with the result. As a newbie every picture is a learning curve and terrifying!This was a gift for a birthday and was an absolute pleasure to draw. I am pleased to say it was well received!
