Embrace a new artistic journey in, “Exploring Floral Forms with Oil Pastels,” where you’ll dive into the world of vibrant expression inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe’s abstracted nature-inspired compositions. Learn to master oil pastel techniques such as color mixing, blending, layering, and mark-making, while drawing inspiration from O’Keeffe’s close-up floral studies and landscape abstractions. Experiment with techniques to transform oil pastels from dry media to wet, in order to create painterly effects. Suitable for all skill levels, this workshop provides the opportunity to experiment with new media, refine your artistic voice, and bring new artworks to life through the versatile medium of oil pastels.

About the Instructor:

A passionate artist and experienced educator, Morgan Jones has spent the last 9 years developing these crafts. She seeks to explore how art can serve as a medium to move us both individually and communally. Her time teaching in public schools, juvenile detention, and community centers has deepened her belief that art is a fundamental means of knowing, connecting, and transforming. In addition to Fine Arts, Morgan studied Art Education at Texas State University as well as Criminal and Social Justice at the College of the Rockies in BC Canada. Morgan’s professional painting practice focuses on plein air landscape assemblage and multiple exposure oil paintings that call into question ideas of impermanence, memory and conservation. After spending a year living on the road, developing her art from her mobile travel trailer studio, she has settled in Santa Fe to split her time between teaching and creating.
