Novice or expert, everyone can draw. This hands-on colour workshop offers demo, hands-on-practice and feedback, reopening possibilities to use oil pastel as both layered colour drawing and as bridge to direct painting techniques. Instruction will weave teaching praxis tips to build confidence to teach this colour pigment. Oil pastel has strengths and limitations. Used badly, it becomes ‘unworkable mud’, ending with student unlearning. Art cupboards are full of unused media. Oil pastel is portable, flexible, cheap, multimedia friendly, forgiving and can shift studio time, layered paintings are done very swiftly. This medium crosses the boundary of drawing and painting, as it is both at once. It is perfect to swiftly cheaply study colour.

NOTE: This is a whole afternoon session, spanning session 2 and 3 time slots. This session has a limited capacity.

To enroll for this session, you must pay for it as an Add-On during the initial conference registration. Only those who have added and paid for the add-on during the conference registration will be admitted into the session due to the limited capacity for the session.
