Art Classes Concluded with  Expanded Materials: Oil Pastels

 

After eight weeks of watercolours, the art course expanded materials to include oil pastels. As most participants have attended regularly, the weekly creations reflected their growing confidence using both water colours and pastels. For the last class, a guest instructor, Alida M., culminated the course with aplomb and the 55+ committee extends a grateful “thank you” to Alida for sharing her expertise.
