Would you like to discover or deepen your knowledge of water-soluble pastels?

Join me for a challenge running from June 26 to July 3!

✨ Why? To help you explore the countless creative possibilities these pastels offer. It's a great opportunity to see how I teach pastels in my new online course.

🖍️ How? Through 2 tutorials and 1 short video, you'll learn the main dry and wet techniques used with water-soluble pastels. I’ll be live in the chat to answer your questions during the tutorials.

How to participate

✨ Follow the tutorials on YouTube et colourful and vibrant drawings.

✨ Post your work before 5 PM on Friday, July 3, tag my account @ondinedeperetti, and use the hashtag #pastelsaquarellables2026

One lucky participant will be randomly selected to win access to the new course!

Get your supplies ready!

I have selected 5 Caran d'Ache Neocolor II shades to create all the projects featured in the challenge:

Aubergine 099 / Desert Rose 042 / Light Olive 245 / Cobalt Blue 5% 661 / Salmon Pink 071

I have also put together a paper discovery kit containing 5 sheets of Arches Hot Pressed paper and 3 sheets of Hahnemühle Watercolour Joy paper to help you follow along with the challenge (coming soon).

An ultra-accessible bundle to discover the joy of pastels, test the right paper and join this fun challenge with ease!

You can also follow the challenge using five of your favourite colours, as well as smooth Bristol paper and cold-pressed watercolour paper.
