Oil Pastel Painting: Van Gogh's Sunflowers

In this class, you’ll explore the expressive and tactile world of oil pastels, creating colourful sunflowers inspired by the vibrant colours and impressionist style of Van Gogh's paintings.

You’ll begin by learning the fundamentals of working with oil pastels - from layering and blending colours to achieving depth, contrast, and texture. We’ll look closely at how Van Gogh captured the essence of sunflowers, using these techniques to bring your artworks to life.

Oil pastels are wonderfully forgiving and full of possibility - perfect for both beginners and experienced artists. The process is intuitive, relaxing, and highly satisfying, as you build layers of colour and watch your image gradually emerge on paper.

By the end of the class, you’ll take home a finished oil pastel painting bursting with colour and character - a celebration of nature through Van Gogh's painterly lens!

All materials will be provided. Please bring your own apron or wear clothes you don’t mind getting a little messy!
You’re welcome to BYOB and enjoy your hot or cold drink while you paint.
