A Gentle Perch with Oksana Burr

Create a beautiful bluebird perched on a branch using colored pencils on rich, velvety Pastelmat paper.

In this workshop, you’ll explore the unique qualities of this surface and learn a variety of blending techniques that help you achieve a soft, realistic finish.

Oksana will guide you through a clear, step‑by‑step process designed to build confidence and support artists at every level. As you work, you’ll discover how to use directional strokes to suggest form, apply soft and hard edges to create depth, and understand values to bring your bluebird to life.

The combination of Pastelmat’s unique surface and thoughtful instruction makes this an ideal workshop for anyone looking to learn something new or refine their existing skills.

Supplies are not included in the workshop fee. A PDF supply list is available in the workshop description.

All artistic levels are welcome—let’s draw together.
