Mentorship

As part of Art Bias’ Mentorship program with Sequoia High School, I teach students how to create a portrait of a pet  or person they love using oil pastels. My goal is for them to find their unique voice as an artist by exploring colors, textures, patterns and techniques. Although the painting should resemble the subject, more importantly it should reflect their personality. Because there is no “right” way to do this, the students are encouraged to let loose, be creative and have fun!
