Malvern Pastel Artists

A social community art group in Malvern.

Who are we?

Malvern Pastel Artists is a friendly and thriving community art group meeting fortnightly in Malvern Link. We welcome other local pastel enthusiasts to create in a relaxed social space. Members range in experience and backgrounds. We support beginners by providing art supplies in sessions.

What do we mean be Pastels?

What we love about pastels is that it’s drawing and painting combined in one; with intense colours closer to the raw pigment than other media. We define pastels as including; soft pastels, hard pastels, pan pastels, oil pastels, charcoal, graphite, crayons, any pencils and stick form media. Many of us are mixed-media artists and combine pastels with other media; for example, watercolours.
