This class is a fun and easy introduction to oil pastel (or chalk pastel) blending and texture backgrounds. I will show my finished artwork at the start of class as a reference. We will discuss all the art supplies needed to create a cute polar bear and snow bear. I will give a step-by-step drawing lesson to sketch the design while learners create their work with me. Oil pastel techniques will be demonstrated to color, blend and texturize our painting as needed for the project. My classes are...
