For the last few months I’ve been trialling and testing methods and techniques for pastels and after so many requests, I’m thrilled to share the first of hopefully many pastel masterclasses.
I wanted to start this new series working on a smaller ‘focus’ piece that breaks down a lot of different elements and techniques.
So im excited to announce my brand new, step-by-step masterclass where I’ll show you exactly how I created this realistic tabby cat portrait using nothing but pastel pencils.
What You’ll Learn:
• My foolproof approach to capturing those striking cat eyes (the most important part of any subject).
• The secret to creating realistic fur texture without ending up with a smudgy mess.
• How to layer colours to achieve that distinctive tabby pattern.
• Techniques for handling those tricky facial features (ever struggled with a cat nose? You’re not alone!)
• My personal method for achieving depth and dimension that makes your art pop off the page
Why This Masterclass will help you:
Let’s be honest – pastel pencils can be FRUSTRATING - it has literally taken me years to figure out a methods that works for me.
They smudge, they break, and somehow you end up with colourful fingerprints on everything you own.
And cats? They can be so challenging to draw with their complex fur patterns and bold expressions.
That’s exactly why I’ve broken down my entire process into manageable chunks.
You’ll see every stroke, every blend, every mistake and every correction – I show it ALL.
