Summer Intensive: Soft & Oil Pastel Painting

Throughout this 1-week workshop you will explore painting with soft and oil pastels where you use the technique of mixing colours on the paper instead of the palette.

You will investigate the influence of paper, colour and texture on our pictures and a variety of mark-making, colour mixing, blending techniques and colour theory.

Through tutor demonstrations, students will complete two paintings throughout the week. A full material list & reference images will by emailed prior to the workshop.
