Expand your expressive language in this beginner-friendly class. This lesson will dive into the world of color and mark-making with oil pastels, which allow for smooth blending, broad movement, and complex layering. Led by instructor Gal Senderowitsch, participants will borrow inspiration from Georgia O’Keeffe’s work to compose their own pieces with this medium, which can be an accessible way to achieve the painterly qualities of oils. While suitable for beginners, artists of all skill levels are welcome to join this lesson.
