Description
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.
In the first part of Botanical Drawing course we’ll start by drawing yellow buttercups — gorgeous wildflowers famous for their shiny yellow petals. Next, we’ll continue with the second part of the course by drawing red poppies — gorgeous wildflowers famous for their shiny red petals. Finally, we’ll finish our course with the third mini-class by drawing blue cornflowers — popular and unusual wildflowers we all love.
Your project for this course is to create three drawings of buttercups, poppies and cornflowers using oil pastels.
