June Oil Art Challenge<\/h1>\n

Over the past month we have been doing weekly challenges using the hashtag #2020isolationartchallenge<\/a>. This challenge was inspired by the COVID19 pandemic and the isolation that many people felt during this time. We wanted artists to have something positive and fun to focus on amid the chaos of the world. Although the Corona Virus is still in our lives, we feel it is time for a change and to focus on a new challenge. Introducing #juneoilartchallenge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

June Art Challenge<\/h4>\n

This month we explore all things oil \u2013 traditional oil paint, oil sticks, oil pastels and water soluble oils. Each day there is a new prompt to get your imagination going and spark creativity.<\/p>\n

Follow @articciart<\/a> on Instagram to receive tips and inspiration for using all types of oil mediums.<\/p>\n

New to oils?<\/h6>\n

If you have never used oils before you could start this challenge using oil pastels. If you don’t have any oil pastels we stock a few options in our art supplies store<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Oil pastels are not crayons. Oil pastels are very different in how they are used and what they are made of. Oil pastels are made using wax and oil which creates the soft, creamy texture and enables them to be colored and blended while crayons are made from was making them harder and more difficult to blend and manipulate.<\/p>\n

Over the month we will share tips and advice for getting started with oil paints. <\/p>\n

Stay tuned for our beginners guide to oil painting!  <\/strong><\/p>\n
