SEPTEMBER SKIES - a pastel painting workshop

🌥 SEPTEMBER SKIES – A Pastel Painting Workshop

Craigie Village Hall • Friday 19th September • 12–3pm

As summer softens into autumn, the skies begin to shift — filled with glowing golds, dusky mauves, and delicate pinks that seem to stretch forever.

In this relaxed, beginner-friendly pastel workshop, we’ll take inspiration from those big Ayrshire skies and create our own soft, light-filled skies using gorgeous soft pastels. You’ll learn how to blend, layer and smudge to build up atmospheric colour and create a painting full of feeling and light.

This is a relaxed, creative afternoon designed to help you pause, reflect, and ease into the new season with calm and colour.

🌤 Who’s this for?

  • Total beginners and upwards — no experience needed

  • Anyone who loves skies, light and colour
