What stands out immediately is his handling of form and light. Garlic is deceptively tricky &#8211; smooth but ridged, pale but not flat, simple but full of subtle tonal shifts. Adam has captured the rounded structure beautifully, especially in the monochrome study, where the focus is entirely on tone rather than colour. That is not an easy thing to do, and it shows a solid understanding of how light wraps around an object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The colour version brings in gentle warmth without overworking the surface, a very common pitfall with pastels. These are thoughtful drawings, and that is exactly what we want to see at this point in the course. Most importantly, Adam is working carefully and looking properly. We are very much looking forward to seeing how his work develops as he moves through the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"1269\" src=\"https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2-2.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2-2-768x955.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2-2-770x958.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2-2-360x448.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"1269\" src=\"https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1-1.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1-1-768x955.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1-1-770x958.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1-1-360x448.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Pastels Certificate Course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>London Art College Pastels Certificate Course<\/strong> is designed to guide students step by step through the fundamentals of pastel drawing and painting. Starting with controlled tonal studies like these, the course gradually builds confidence in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Observational drawing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Light and shadow<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Colour layering and blending<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Surface handling and texture<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Composition and subject choice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Students work at their own pace, receiving structured guidance and tutor feedback as they progress. It is suitable for beginners as well as those returning to pastels after time away, and it focuses on building strong foundations rather than rushing ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adam is only at the beginning of his journey and if this is where he is starting, we can safely say he is on very solid ground. We cannot wait to see what comes next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#4f697e\">If you would like to receive a roundup of all of our blog posts once a week to keep you inspired in your inbox, why not sign up to our newsletter.
