A correspondence course for budding artists with disabilities has been launched by an artist.
Pastel artist Annabel Greenhalgh from Narbeth, Pembroke, has been teaching pastel painting to adults from her cottage studio for many years. But it was when some students with limited mobility attended the course on crutches and were unable to attend regularly that the idea for a correspondence course was born, explains Annabel.
"There are six modules in the beginner's course, which can take between a week and a year to complete," she says. "I have known some people take a week off work and complete it but I always recommend that students take longer over it because they will learn more that way."
The correspondence course allows students to take photos of their work and send them to Annabel by email for assessment. "I then provide a critique, which is helpful for students to develop and improve."
Annabel Greenhalgh, who plans to introduce an intermediate course later in the year, is perhaps best known for her sand dune pastels and is widely collected in the UK and abroad. She continues to be inspired by the sea and coastal landscape.
