🌟March Featured Artist: Kevin Line PS 🌟

"I have always found that what I observe is more interesting than what I imagine. Portraiture is my natural home as an artist.... The way a personality is captured can tell us something about the subject, the artist, ourselves and the human race all at once."

Welcome to our newly elected #PastelSociety members Alex Ayliffe, Katy Bailey, Stuart Jarvis and Rachel Arif!

✍️'Direct Touch' Pastel Society Annual Exhibition 2026, 21 Jan-7 Feb

A rich & diverse showcase of artists #drawing on the possibilities of #pastel. The joy of #drymedia is its ability to transmit feelings through the hand directly onto #paper. The touch is evident & powerful

✨January Featured Artist: Maria Kaleta PS ✨

"For me, art is a source of joy, but also a way to live. It pushes the artist to observe the world more freely, noticing beauty in the diversity of life. It also teaches a certain modesty and appreciation for the creation that surrounds us."
