Finally Learn How to Use Soft Pastels (Without the Overwhelm)
If you’ve ever felt lost or frustrated trying soft pastels, you’re not alone. Most beginners struggle with the same things:
 
❌ Not knowing which supplies to buy 
❌ Getting muddy results  
❌ Watching endless tutorials but still      feeling stuck 

This free beginner-friendly session will change that. 
Join me as I walk you through the essentials of using soft pastels — with zero jargon, zero overwhelm, and a whole lot of clarity.

What You’ll Learn By the end of this free training:
 ✨ The essential supplies you actually need (and what to avoid) — save money and start with confidence.
✨ Why soft pastels are the perfect medium for beginners — vibrant, forgiving, and fun.
✨ A simple, step-by-step process for creating art you’ll actually love.
✨ The biggest beginner mistakes (and how to avoid them for good).
✨ A live demonstration — I’ll show you how to blend soft pastel sticks to create a smooth, glowing background and use pastel pencils for the crisp details of barbed wire.

 This session is perfect if you: 
Are brand new to soft pastels (or tried once and gave up)  
Feel confused about what to buy or how to start  
Want a relaxing, beginner-friendly way to reconnect with your creativity  
No fancy materials or experience needed — just a few pastels, some paper, and an open mind.

“Skip the guesswork. Start with clarity.”
