April 25-26, 2026 in BERN, Switzerland: “The Pastel Portrait and Figure - Catching the light...”
Join me in Bern for 2 days of portrait and figure drawing!

​Each day will kick-off by a quick demo, show-casing the “pastel on toned paper” technique to complete a lively portrait. We will discuss the importance of proportions, lighting and the usage of blending different colours to obtain realistic flesh tones. Participants will then work freely on their own pastel drawing of our professional model, under Peter’s close supervision.

This course will be in English (one-to-one tutoring also possible in French and Spanish).

Venue: Schweizer Malschule in Stettlen-Deisswil (BE)
October 4-10, 2026: “Catching the light” in Spain
Come draw with me in Spain!

A transformative artistic experience for lovers of drawing and pastel, that will inspire and motivate you for years to come. We will spend the week creating compelling artworks with dry media: graphite, charcoal and pastel on different types of paper. The main focus will be the portrait and the figure but we’ll also enjoy some relaxing time sketching and drawing landscapes outdoors, taking advantage of the beautiful views and the pleasant weather of the Costa Brava.

This course will be in English (one-to-one tutoring also possible in French and Spanish).

Lieu : Atelier Creative Retreat Costa Brava (Spain)
