In this class, we are going to play with oil pastels. I'll admit, I'm a little afraid of the oil pastels, not because they aren't beautiful or I don't know how to use them, but because they never really dry... which is absurd since I love the chalk pastels and they will shed pigment forever... LOL! So today, I decided to play with the oil pastels and create some beautiful, super easy, little landscapes. We'll talk a bit about finishing sprays at the end in case you want to at least have the option of them hardening a bit and being a little protected. I hope you love trying this project out!

This class is for you if:

You love learning new techniques for your art
You are interested in learning more about oil pastels and how to use them
You love watching how others approach their art practice

Supplies:

These are the supplies I'll be using in class today.

Fabriano Studio cold press 140lb watercolor paper - I tried out several different types of paper to do these on - I like cold press watercolor paper best.
artist tape
post it notes - or paper you can tear to create your mountains
Oil pastels - I'm using the sennelier oil pastels 24-count box in class
hole punch - that is what I used to create the sun/moon in the sky
