Oil pastel is a very painterly material. Similar to crayon, oil pastel creates vibrant colors, easily layers and is fantastic for blending. This presentation will show a day-by-day guide to what we are covering in class.

Sketchbook #5

You will create an oil pastel drawing of a Van Gogh artwork.

• Choose an image from the Van Gogh Folder.

• If the image you want is not in the folder, speak to the teacher.
