Join me for a journey into the magical world of oil pastel painting!
In this course, Oil Pastels Made Easy! I will share my secrets for creating stunning paintings in oil pastels.
I will show you how to sketch, layer, blend, detail, and create beautiful textures to bring your paintings to life.
We will be working with an affordable selection of oil pastels, paper, and a few tools to make the creative processes easy, all without breaking the bank. Feel free to use the supplies you already have, though, as this class is designed to work with your stash. If you need to purchase supplies, I will recommend products that will get the job done but are not too precious to use.
We will walk through a variety of styles as you gain experience rendering different subject matter; that way, you will be able to tackle any project you desire after the class.
Each lesson contains a "draw with me" component, but if you do not wish to draw, you can use the pattern provided for the more difficult lessons.
I will teach you the basic techniques for stunning results with oil pastels. Then, we will work through 10 real-time painting projects to ensure you know how to put the techniques into practice!
This course contains over 14 hours of real-time instruction, so by the end of this class, you will have the skills and confidence to use oil pastels with ease!
In Oil Pastels Made Easy! I want to take the mystery out of oil pastels so you can create with confidence! I hope to paint with you soon!
