Share what I’ve learned

After creating two watercolour courses, I felt inspired to share my knowledge of a medium I have been particularly fond of for many years: water-soluble pastels. In my search for even more texture, spontaneity and vibrancy in colour, these pastels quickly became an essential part of my artistic practice, allowing me to expand my creative possibilities. Through this course, I invite you to discover them for yourself!
