Animals in Pastel

If you’ve ever wanted to capture the character, texture, and soul of animals in your artwork, this Animals in Pastel course with Henriette van Eeden is the perfect place to dive in.

This hands-on workshop is designed to guide you through the process of creating expressive, lifelike animal portraits using pastel—whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refine your technique. You’ll learn how to build convincing fur textures, layer colour for depth and realism, and bring out the unique personality in your subject. Henriette shares practical, easy-to-follow methods that take the guesswork out of pastel, helping you gain confidence as you go.

Expect a relaxed, encouraging environment where you can experiment, ask questions, and enjoy the creative process without pressure. By the end of the course, you won’t just have a finished artwork—you’ll have the skills and understanding to keep creating animals that feel alive on the page.
Spaces are limited to keep the experience personal and hands-on—so don’t wait too long to secure your spot.
