Forest Meadow in Soft Pastels

Explore the rich, velvety medium of soft pastels as you create a colourful forest meadow filled with layered trees, soft shadows, and atmospheric depth. In this guided workshop, you’ll learn how to blend fresh greens, purples, blues, and warm earthy tones to build a vibrant yet balanced landscape.

Discover techniques for layering, smudging, colour mixing, and expressive mark-making to create foliage, grass, light, and natural textures. You’ll also explore how varying pressure and stroke direction can produce both soft transitions and defined details.

As the composition develops, you’ll balance tall foreground trees with smaller shrubs, open meadow, and distant woodland. Learn how overlapping forms, warm and cool colours, and directional shadows help create perspective and depth, while bringing the calm and beauty of the landscape to life.
