Oil Pastel Self-Portrait
The participants will create self-portraits using oil pastels in this three-part art course. Each class will mix instruction with hands-on drawing. During the course, you’ll discover different ways to use oil pastels and learn about composition, colours and head proportions.
On Thursdays 17.10, 24.10, 31.10 17.30-19.30
Instructor: Andrei Kedrin
The course is perfect for beginners who want to draw portraits but need help getting started.
You can draw your own portrait or that of a friend or family member. Remember to bring a picture (digital or print-out) of the person you want to draw, or we can use mirrors in the studio for self-portraits. By the end of the course, you’ll have made three oil pastel portraits and learned a lot about oil pastel approaches and opportunities.
