Welcome to the course on botanical drawing with oil pastels!
In this course, you will learn to merge the tenderness of the flowers and the naive, expressive nature of oil pastels into simple minimalistic drawings. This course will include several short classes, and every time together we will create a drawing of different flowers.
We’ll start by looking at inspiration and reference photos for our drawing, and next, we will modify the reference image on a go to fit our naive and simple drawing style and the oil pastel features. Finally, we will develop our botanical drawing layer by layer.
