A Highland cow in soft pastels

Not yet rated(0)

I’m really excited to share the first Upper Sheringham class for June — we’ll be drawing a beautiful Highland cow in soft pastels.

Think flowing, fluffy hair, those wonderfully textured horns catching the sunlight, and all the little details that bring personality to life. It’s a relaxed, friendly day with plenty of guidance, and you’ll head home with a piece you’ll be genuinely proud to frame (or sell!).

We’ll be working from the reference image shown — I absolutely love it and hope you do too — but as always, you’re very welcome to bring your own image if you’d prefer.

📍 Venue: Upper Sheringham Village Hall, Upper Sheringham
📅 Date: Friday 26th June, 9.30am – 4pm
💷 Price: £75 (includes all materials, a gorgeous lunch, plus refreshments & light bites throughout the day)

What you’ll learn:

By the end of the day, you’ll feel much more confident with:

  • Creating soft, wispy fur that looks touchable
    Building layers to achieve depth and that lovely 3D effect
    Rendering realistic horns with smooth texture and striking highlights
    Choosing and developing backgrounds that elevate your artwork
    Combining soft pastels and pastel pencils for richer results
    Capturing character and expression so your subject really comes alive

I’d absolutely love to see you there — it’s shaping up to be a really special day.

Any questions at all, just drop me a message!

  • What's New

    We’ve never created a Highland Cow together before and I can’t wait – as always, if you have a different image you want to work from or an entirely different animal, that’s totally up to you!  I always encourage individuality and want people to express themselves however they want artistically – everyone is totally different and we embrace that difference in our classes.  That said, this cow is a super cute one and I can’t wait to draw him with you – I will be doing lots of demos on all the awkward parts and showing you how to layer that fluffy and spindly hair!

  • You Will Learn

      • Working exclusively in pastels and pastel pencils to capture the gentle grace and rugged beauty of the elephant

      • Deep-diving into subtle tonal changes to achieve a realistic finish
      • When to soften areas and when to sharpen details for maximum impact
      • Using a limited palette to create harmony and cohesion
