Botanical Drawing With Oil Pastels Poppies

About This Class

Your project for this class is to create a drawing of red poppies using oil pastels.

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 together we will create a drawing of different flowers.

This is the second class of the Botanical Drawing course and we’ll continue by drawing red poppies — gorgeous wildflowers famous for their shiny red petals.

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.

Tools & Materials

oil pastels: permanent red, olive brown, yellow-brown

watercolor paper

masking tape

This class is probably best suited for bners who have no experience with oil pastels and for anyone who likes creating botanical drawings and whats to try out such a unique medium as oil pastels.
