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 Christmas Santa gnome. 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...

Oil pastel coloring, blending and texturizing techniques to create a beautiful oil pastel painting.
Chalk pastels or gel sticks can be substituted for oil pastels.
