With the right information and acquired skills you ll be making beautiful works in no time.My name is Benjamin Aeilkema and I m an illustrator and Artist from The Netherlands. I love creating Artworks with all kinds of materials. Lately Soft Pastels have captured a special place in my heart. Once I got over the setbacks, which can be severe without the right techniques, and cracked the code of how to work with this impressive medium, I totally fell in love with it!In this Art Class I m going to reveal the code I cracked to make working with Soft Pastels great fun and super rewarding. Using the beauty of different kind of spring flowers, I will take you step-by-step into the wonderful world of Soft Pastels.We ll start out with sketching some snowdrops, getting familiar with our Soft Pastels. Then we ll look at bringing in more details into our work, enhancing the beauty greatly. Next we ll be working on creating different kinds of backgrounds.

Just find the lesson you re on and compare your work to the finished assignment in the book. Again, this will save you time and allow you to keep on going.That s not all though.I ve also included photo references in this booklet. You ll find photos of all the flowers I ve used in the lessons and even some extra ones for more practice. This addition will help you to work in any season, regardless of which flowers do or don t grow. While I encourage you to get your own reference material, I understand that s not always possible. So with this addition you have plenty of reference material to get you started and keep you drawing.So come and join the fun and start creating lovely artworks today!
