Still Life with Oil Pastels

Still Life with Oil Pastels Online

Learn the basic techniques of oil pastels in this online class with artist Karen Tan from Creative Pastels. You will also learn about value, color, and composition. This is a shelf top setup and we are painting from an eye level perspective. Not much of the table top space is visible. Objects are arranged to overlap each other for perspective of depth.  Also this is a Dutch style classical painting where we can put on the perspective of a Dutch painter to depict chiaroscuro effect and drama. No experience necessary; all levels are welcome. Materials will be available for pick-up at the Stillwater Public Library two weeks prior to class.

Space is limited; registration is required. Due to the popularity of our arts programming, materials not picked up within a week of the program will be given to the next person on the waiting list and your class registration will be canceled.

An email will be sent after registration with the Zoom meeting details.  If you are new to Zoom, see these instructions on how to get started.

Hi, my name is Karen Tan. My passion is to celebrate the beauty and richness of life through art as well as helping others do the same. I paint regularly in my home studio, mostly still life painting. Occasionally I join some plein-air groups to paint outdoors. I conduct classes for adults and kids at libraries, homeschool co-op, and also from my studio at home. Check out my social media site to view my artwork. Thank you and see you soon!
