Oil pastel washed with watercolour or gouache gives a unique texture. Inspired by mixed media works by John Piper we will draw with waterproof ink and oil pastel, before washing with colour and watching the pastel break through. The session will start with experiments with different colours and tones of pastel and different strengths of wash. Pale pastel with a dark strong wash gives the most dramatic effect. More subtle effects can be achieved where pastel and wash are nearer in tone and hue. References are supplied but you are encouraged to bring your own sketch or photograph
