Demonstration – The demonstration will be given by Barbara McManus, who will focus on working in pastel.
Barbara needs little introduction, being one of Australia’s very well known and sought after pastel and oil artists. She is highly regarded for her impressionistic work in both figure and character studies, which feature prominently in her work.
This demonstration is sure to be interesting for artists with all levels of experience, whether or not they have worked with this medium, as it will cover a range of different portraiture and pastel techniques. As a member of the Victorian Artist’s Society, Barbara is an experienced artist and demonstrator, so make sure you reserve the date for an informative and enjoyable afternoon.
