Pastel is a fun, intuitive medium that can produce extremely diversified effects from highly realistic to an almost painterly quality. This course will examine the basic principles and techniques of drawing in soft and oil pastel. A variety of subject preferences including Still Life and Floral, Landscape and Portraiture will provide an opportunity for students to cultivate their foundational skills. Techniques will be explored through exercises, demonstration, discussion and study of Master Works.

OAS is thrilled to welcome Greg back to OAS and celebrate his recent retirement from his “day” job. Hopefully, we will see a lot more of Greg from now on.
His work is exquisite. His manner is calm and gentle. You can read a bit about him and his work in this piece from The Spectator.
Here is what some of his OAS students have said:
“I feel Greg Douglas is an excellent teacher and his pastels are certainly worth the time. He showed us quite a few ways in which to use them and mix them with other medias as well.”
“Greg did an excellent job, I thoroughly enjoyed the course. I can only be amazed at his skills.”
“This was an amazing introduction to pastel course! I have learnt a lot in a short time and was really happy about my results. We covered a lot of techniques and learned many tips. I liked that we were able to choose our own subjects. It was great to have a demo part at the beginning of each class before working independently, and still be guided and encouraged throughout each class. Greg is a great educator and artist! I hope there will be a continuation of this class.”
