Introduction To Oil Pastels
Build on your drawing foundations and bring your artwork to life with colour! In this vibrant, hands-on course, children will explore how to use oil pastels to create bold, expressive, and beautifully textured pieces. Each week focuses on a new technique—learning how to blend, layer, and build depth using this exciting medium.
Children will learn how to:
Blend and mix colours to create smooth transitions and striking contrasts
Use layering and scratching techniques to reveal texture and pattern
Explore light, shadow, and tone to make drawings look rich and dimensional
Experiment with different styles, from impressionistic landscapes to abstract compositions
This course is perfect for children who have completed Drawing Techniques or those who are ready to explore the power of colour and texture in their art. All abilities welcome—just bring imagination and a love of creativity!
