• Megan Morgan- Oil Pastels on Burlap

• www.meganmorganfinartist.com

  CLASS LIMIT: 10

  Learn to hand stretch repurposed burlap onto wooden canvases and draw on the surface with oil pastels.

  We will start by selecting a piece of burlap and deciding what section will be utilized to create the canvas. As you plan your composition, you may hand-stretch burlap that has typography and graphics printed on its surface or you may prefer plain burlap. I enjoy using burlap that has small holes, snags, or slightly damaged areas because I feel that makes the final piece uniquely yours. We will go over basic oil pastels techniques such as: Heavy Pressure Blending, Light Pressure Blending, Color Mixing, Stippling, Scumbling, Sgraffito, and using Oil for blended appearances.

  Our goal will be to successfully hand-stretch your own canvas, creativity make composition choices, and take pleasure in drawing on richly textured surfaces.
