This comprehensive workshop introduces artists of all levels to the vibrant techniques of oil and soft pastels, covering essential skills like mark-making, layering, blending, and color theory. Participants will explore the creamy, painterly texture of oil pastels and the powdery, blendable nature of soft pastels to create realistic fall landscapes of the grounds and spaces of Holy Family Retreat Center.
