[Adult Workshop] Advanced Oil Pastels

Create impressionist art with oil pastels in this exciting class!

Over 150 years ago, impressionism shook the art world. Artists began to use short brushstrokes, pure, unblended colors, and novel use of light which were not common. These “radical” techniques translate nicely to oil pastels. After reviewing basic techniques of oil pastels and examining examples of impressionist art, we will create an impressionist landscape.

• Review of fundamental oil pastel techniques.
• Study of impressionist works to inspire your approach.
