Making Pastels Glow
A two day Workshop with Lyn Mellady
Two Sundays, 15th and 29th March 2026
9.30 - 4pm
Soft Pastel workshop with Lyn Mellady
Lyn Mellady, a lifetime artist, teacher and master pastelist with the PSVA, will guide you
on the path to painting clear colour, expressive light and shadows and avoiding problems as you paint with pure pastel pigment.
Day 1 (15th March) will look at different land and seascape lighting in small studies and we choose one for more detailed painting focus.
Day 2 (29th March) will build from day 1 and a different concept will be the study demo and personal paintings for the day.
If you do not have many pastels, Lyn can supply the pastels you need for a hire fee of $15 during the workshop.
It is essential to book these as they are individually prepared for you.
Cost: $110 per day or $200 for the full 2 day workshop.
To book email Lyn on
artwithlyn@gmail.com

Course description
Two art tutors
- Level:- For artists with some degree of proficiency in their medium. (pastel/acrylic/watercolour)
- Why venture out into the real world? Is it a venture or adventure?
- There are many popular art tours happening all over the world offering to enrich the travel and share the experience of painting together.
- This workshop is for artists who are uncomfortable with the concept of painting on site.
- They may feel exposed, inadequate or simply frustrated with their results. Or maybe they just want to feel prepared.
- This is time to learn how to choose, set up and capture the scene.
- Lyn will demonstrate. We will paint on site in the morning then bring the work back to the studio each day
- to assess results and decide what the next step might be and possibilities of improving.
- It will aim to sharpen your decisions in all stages and allow you to relax with the process.
- The afternoons will spring from the morning’s painting.— what is the next step? We will all possibly have a different ‘next step’.
- Lyn Mellady and Julie Goldspink will take this course and split to a max no 5 people in a group
- $250 for 3 days
- Note-
- For interstate or distant participants there is a good variety of accommodation nearby.
