If you’ve done the fresh Fearless Floral workshop series in Mixed Media and Collage, this is an even more contemporary take where we will focus on the underrated medium of luscious….Oil Pastels!
Using a fast and exciting approach on coloured grounds (pastel paper and acrylic underpaintings). We will use high quality oil pastels to create several works in your choice of 11″x14″ or 16″x20″. We will start with warm ups on pastel paper then move to create an acrylic underpainting of a floral arrangement and add our final layer of oil pastels – the icing on the cake!
