In this class, we’ll create two beautiful and beginner-friendly landscape paintings inspired by the peaceful beauty of nature. Whether you’re new to oil pastels or looking to improve your blending and layering techniques, this class will guide you through each step at a comfortable pace. Our first project is a dreamy sunset meadow, where you’ll explore smooth sky gradients, paint glowing sunset colors, draw delicate trees using simple line techniques, and build a cozy grassy field full of texture and atmosphere.
Our second project is a bright beach scene, where you’ll learn how to blend a soft blue sky and sparkling ocean, create realistic sandy textures, and add depth with distant islands and a colorful beach umbrella.
Throughout the class, you’ll learn techniques such as:
- Creating smooth color gradients
- Layering and blending oil pastels
- Painting light and shadows
- Adding texture to grass and sand
- Drawing trees with simple, thin strokes
- Creating depth in landscape paintings
