About the event
In this creative and exploratory class, we’ll combine two contrasting art materials—oil pastels and watercolour—to create vibrant, expressive paintings. Using the natural resistance between oil and water, students will discover how bold pastel marks interact with flowing washes of colour, producing surprising textures, patterns, and movement.
This class is perfect for beginners and experienced artists alike. There is no “right” or “wrong” outcome—just experimentation, curiosity, and joyful mark-making. You’ll learn how to build layers, play with contrast, and let the materials do some of the work for you.
