Introducing Debora Stewart



I'm a Master Pastelist with the Pastel Society of America and in the Masters Circle of the International Association of Pastel Societies. I'm also the author of Abstract Art Painting: Expressions in Mixed Media.

Join me in this innovative workshop where you will learn to create abstract floral pastels. You can also use the same techniques for other media like acrylic or oil painting. I've been drawing and experimenting with florals as a subject for many years.


More about the workshop


In this workshop you will learn some of my techniques for loosening up and gathering inspiration to create abstract florals.

You will also see me create a pastel painting step by step and view my source material. I'm taking you through all of the steps that I teach in an in person workshop. After seeing my process you will be able to apply my steps to create your own floral pastels and paintings.

This workshop is suitable for both pastel and acrylic artists.
