Remember drawing with crayons? Well, oil pastels are more advanced and are formulated to blend and combine in exciting and engaging ways. From subtle effects to vibrant colors and textures you can get some interesting effects from oil pastels. It's somewhere between drawing and painting. Explore the possibilities of this medium in easy exercises in this one day workshop. Materials provided.

Larry Johnson, a 1979 graduate of The Art Institute of Boston, has been an artist all his life. He grew up making homemade comic books and self-published his book Tales of Fantasy for several years. These days he draws and paints landscapes, fantasy scenes and still life subject matter. A long time resident of Jamaica Plain, he moved to Hyde Park in 2009, and for five years taught a comic book workshop at The Menino Arts Center. He currently teaches drawing at the MAC and to residents of local retirement communities through the Hyde Park Art Association's Mobile Arts Program.
