Painting with Watercolor and Oil Pastel - Spring 2024
Dates: Mondays, May 6th through June 24th
Time: 5:45 pm to 7:15 pm
Location:
First Parish in Wayland
225 Boston Post Road, Wayland MA
Youth Room
Cost: $400.
Instructor: Rahul Ray
The class will be held in a studio setting and will focus on fundamental skills, such as observation, perspective, scale, and techniques. Sketching will be an integral part of the exercise. Oil pastels provide a versatile medium for painting with bright colors. They also allow ‘scratching’ with a sharp object to provide interesting effects. Various subjects, including still-life, floral, and portrait will be included in the exercises. This will be an eight-week session, and success with watercolor and oil pastels, considered difficult mediums, will be all but guaranteed.

Feedback on Rahul’s class from a former students:
My expectations (as a beginner) for the class were simple. I wanted to learn basic watercolor techniques and practice what I was learning with the guidance of a teacher. I also wanted to learn how to really see the subjects and to try to develop my own style. I am getting this out of the class and am enjoying the process. -Sarah Chambers
