In this workshop you will look at yourself or other participants more closely by drawing a (self-)portrait with oil pastels. The aim is to capture the essence of your subject rather than about getting every detail to look right and take inspiration from impressionistic artists like Monet and Renoir.

If you would like some guidance, I am happy to give any tips and pointers.

Oil pastels and paper are provided but feel free to bring your own materials. I will also bring a small mirror for self portraits but you can use photographs for references as well.
