Pastel Landscapes - May 2017

Pastels are often used for landscapes because of the ability to build up many layers and blend colours together, from creating a stormy sky to a field full of flowers. For our next competition we would love to see your landscapes in pastel! Submit your pastel painting for a chance to win a year’s Silver membership of the Pastel Academy run by artist and tutor Heather Harman and a Set of 60 Art Spectrum Soft Pastels in a Wooden Box worth £194! There will also be a People’s Choice Award voted for by the public where the winner will receive a Half-Stick set of 40 Art Spectrum Soft Pastels worth £60.
