Beginner Oil Pastel Drawing Class

Event Phone: 5802092492

*This is an open to the public class.

Unleash your inner artist in a vibrant, stress-free environment designed specifically for beginners! Oil pastels are the perfect “bridge” medium-they offer the rich, buttery texture of oil paints with the simple control of a crayon. In this hands-on workshop, we strip away the intimidation of art-making and replace it with pure, colorful experimentation.

No experience needed.  All supplies included with a step by step process. Walk away with your very own completed oil pastel drawing. There will be lots of examples of different styles you can reference from.

In this class, we will introduce you to oil pastels. Learn why oil pastels are unique, from their intense pigmentation to their “never-dry” versatility. You will master skills like layering for depth, pressure control for varying line weights, and blending with fingers or stumps to create seamless gradients. We will also explore all the different tools and techniques you can utilize while working with this medium.

Unlike traditional painting, oil pastels require no messy solvents, no long draying times, and no expensive equipment. It is a forgiving, tactile medium that encourages you to “let go” and just play. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing new hobby or a social creative outlet, this class is your shortcut to pure fun and creative expression!

This class is great for older kids and adults.
