11)  Oil Pastel Drawing (I, II, III)
(I) Still life (II) Landscape (III) Portrait: In oil pastels, the pigment is bound with oil, which creates a dense and greasy texture. The choice of colors is slightly restricted, but it is one of the best media to work with, since it doesn’t require fixing. Layers of color can be built up with oil pastel in the same way as for soft past pastels and colored pencils. In our drawing classes in Dubai, students will be guided on how to properly utilize this kind of media to produce still life, landscape, and portrait creations.
