Your Tutor: Leanna Taylor: A passionate pastelist, I have been fortunate to win many awards. My creative side has taken me into photography, merchandising display work, small business ownership, and ceramics. I have been a tutor at Fremantle Arts Centre and in my home studio, conducted workshops locally and in the country and have a diploma in Fine Arts. My job is to teach what I have learnt about Pastels and see my students develop their skills. Charcoal, Pastels, and Oils are my go-to mediums. I am an active member of WA Soc of Arts and Perth Pastel Society. Art has always been food for my soul as I interpret Australia’s stunning landscapes full of grasses, glorious trees, endless skies, and coastal views… and then there is still life and portraits!

I look forward to your company in class. Materials; Paper: Pastelmat, Colourfic sanded paper or any pastel paper. These can be coloured papers of your choice for taping to a backing board.
