Oil Pastel Workshop with Narelle Higson

Come along to this introductory session to learn all you ever wanted to know about oil pastels (and more)! Oil pastels are wonderfully forgiving and fun to use on their own or in mixed media work, once you know a few basic principles for use. They require very little space and are easy to set up and pack away. What's not to love?!

This relaxed and informative workshop will cover:

The unique qualities of different types and brands of oil pastels and the potential uses for each.

Their use on different surfaces such as paper, canvas and wood.

Their use with other art materials such as acrylics, gouache and inks.

How to preserve oil pastel artworks using fixative / varnish / cold-wax.

This workshop is equally suited to beginners and those more experienced artists looking to add a different tool to their creative toolbox.
