Welcome to a fun and easy class for oil pastel blending and textured backgrounds. I'll show my finished artwork at the start of class as a reference. We'll discuss all the art supplies needed and I'll give a step-by-step drawing lesson to Christmas Poinsettia flower while learners create their work with me. Oil pastel techniques will be demonstrated to color, blend and texturize our painting. My classes are relaxed, encouraging, and creative with many options for the learners to personalize their artwork. Students may share their work at the end of class or in the Outschool classroom after they have added their finishing touches. Note: Oil pastels are often called paintings when blending techniques are used to create a painterly appearance to the artwork. We will only be using oil pastel sticks not paint brushes.
