Hello and welcome to the second exploratory instalment into the textural and inky world of the Indigo pastel.

A quick note before you get stuck in...

I have described this as a 3 day course and have split the content into 3 sections, though you can of course take as long as you like. The aim here is to explore the materials and gather up lots of inspiration and ideas for how to combine them while simultaneously letting their differences shine through. I have designed the exercises so you have a mixture of working loosely on a larger scale and then taking your time on smaller projects. By the end of 'day 2' you will have built up a great collection of mixed media drawings, paintings and collages which will feed both further investigation and inspire ideas for more finished paintings and collages.

I have added a bonus section at the end too which includes a film of one of my mixed media landscapes being painted plus one or two other things you may want to dip into if you have the time! 

I hope that you enjoy this course and I look forward to you posting your work on Instagram using the hashtag indigoagogo  Do tag me too @janettephillipsart so I can get to see it!
