Shadows in the Landscape - 2 Day Pastel Workshop with Caroline Reid
Soft Pastels - Discover the Art of Shadows in the Landscape with Caroline Reid
Ever struggled with shadows in your landscape paintings? This workshop is designed to build both understanding and technique in rendering convincing, expressive shadows using soft pastels.
Shadows play a vital role in landscape art — they ground the image, create depth and perspective, and define the form and structure of the land. More than that, they carry the emotional tone of a scene, helping to reveal the story the artist wants to tell.
Over two days, we’ll explore the theory of light and the different types of shadows as they relate to artistic practice. Through demonstration and guided exercises, you’ll learn how to apply these principles in pastel — developing a luminous summer landscape using layering and underpainting techniques.
By the end of the weekend, students will have gained both a scientific and artistic understanding of how shadows bring light, atmosphere, and meaning to the landscape.
